Can you do this with your CGM?

Talking about the sensor and transmitter… Anyway I was wondering if you could tan in a tanning bed if it would hurt your CGM system??? I know you can’t go in a hot tub with it…because the water is too hot…

I called Minimed on this and they said that they do not recommend laying in the tanning bed while on the CGMS because they have not done any testing on it before. The guy told me just to disconnect and then when you are done laying go to the sensor start menu and choose reconnect old sensor.

Hope this helps.

Dexcom told me that it was OK to tan in a tanning machine while wearing the sensor/transmitter. I don’t think I would take the receiver in there though. I haven’t tried it, because I usually do the tanning machines in the winter when I have a trip to a warm climate planned, and I didn’t go anywhere this winter.

Thanks for reply… I don’t tan that often just when I need to wear a dress…
