I’ve never been a fan of the Dexcom cgm although lately I’ve been using it more and more and seeing somewhat better performance with it now that I’ve found a couple sights that actually work reasonably well for me. In my case that’s on my lower abdomen, level with or slightly below by belly button on either side and just slightly above my belt line… I’ve tried everywhere else and not had very acceptable results.
The problem here though, being a hairy guy, is that I have to shave the area right before applying the sensor, and that in combination with the adhesive, and the opsite flexifix that I have to add a few days later when it starts peeling off… I end up with a quite unpleasant, itchy bumpy rash where the sensor has been applied and taped. Has anyone else experienced this and found any solutions? Currently it’s so unpleasant that I am only using it when I absolutely have to because it really is no fun…
