> Update:. The tape @Eric referenced is what we use. It’s called Dexcom overpatch. It’s free… All you do is call and request it. It’s great for us.

Found it!

> Dexcom tech support said they would send me some of their sensor tape. It has the pre-cut hole for the sensor. And they are sending it for free. I had no idea this was available until today! Has anyone else gotten it from them? All you have to do is request it when you make a call to support, and they will send it free of charge (makes sense, if it saves them from having to replace a sensor, eh?). Just wanted to pass this along. Mine is being sent, I’ll let you know if it is any good.
