> I’ve finally found the one place that I can stand to wear a Dexcom cgm… on the front of my thigh (thanks @mikep) . The problem, for me, is there are a lot of veins near the surface there and I often see blood oozing out at the insertion sight before I attach the transmitter…

The thigh didn’t work for me. I had two that were like this and I gave up.

@sam, I like the title of your post. I kind of imagine an English chap from the East End saying it. “Bloody CGM insertions!”
