I wonder if that is also true for Medtronic’s Enlites. I know that it was not the case previously. The introducer needle of the Sof-sensor (aka Harpoon) exposed some of the probe. But I have no idea what the layout is with the Enlite.
My main reason for continuing to listen (somewhat) to Medtronic’s recommendations and avoid applying Skin Tac or Mastisol or whatever prior to inserting is my concern that the residue could contaminate the sensor probe during insertion and “gunk it up”.
Of course, if I were to ever risk breaking a sensor by not following the rules while inserting it, I suppose this would be that time. Maybe 6 days from now I’ll try talking a walk on the wild side … in CGM terms.
