Avoiding Sensor Adhesive Irritation

I use 3m Nexcare waterproof hydrocolloid pads in the XL size (2 31/32 x 3 30/32" - 75x100mm) They have adhesive over the entire surface. I cut a hole in the center with a 1/8" belt hole punch for the inserter needle. We have another thread on this now: Rash under Dexcom G6 sensor
