Sensor placement

Hey y’all. I just started using a CGM and have been putting it on my abdomin, but is it ok to put it on my upper thigh? I read that it shouldn’t be placed on tattoos which eliminates my arms. I’m thinking about putting it just under my hip so it’s not in a spot where I bend so much. Thanks for any and all suggestions/feedback!

I have had Medtronic Enlites there and it worked fine. Their transmitters are somewhat slimmer than Dexcom’s though so I didn’t have any issues sitting or lying down on that side.

Thanks! I have Dexcom and it is a bit obnoxious, but so far so good!

I’ve not had much luck with my thighs but it works for other people. I prefer the arms.

Hey all, thighs works fine with me for around 3-4 week :tada:

Good news! Perhaps you will be the next title holder of the PWD who has the longest (accurately) functioning Dexcom sensor. Go for it, and good luck!

Thighs and upper arm work better than stomach for me. I sit while putting them in. Outside of thighs and left arm. Not coordinated enough to do right arm.
