jrtpup replied to Alicia Dodd's discussion 'Spots for dexcom?!' in the group Dexcom Users"+1 on the Opsite Flexifix. The stuff sticks forever and doesn't itch (for me at least)."
"I highly recommend Opsite Flexifix. I switched to it from Tagaderm and will never go back. I haven't tried IV3000 however."
mikep replied to Alicia Dodd's discussion 'Spots for dexcom?!' in the group Dexcom Users"Thighs and back of arm. I don't use my stomach for anything. Pod and Dex senors are everywhere else though!!!!!"
"It is not so much what is my favourite place/spot; but where the dang thing works best. I too tried my stomach till I caught the mess reading 238 on finger tips and 168 on gut.
Scientifically why anyone would approve the gut escapes me totally and…"

"Yes, I have tried so many different adhesives and nothing seems to work so I am going to try this one out because so many people say it has worked. If Tegederm doesn't work I will have to try out the IV3000, I am willing to try anything!"
"Due to what I was initially told by Dexcom, I put in on my tummy above or below the waist. The readings were so wacked that I wanted to throw Dexie through the window. Then some one told me to try the thigh area. Now my readings are MUCH…"
Natalie ._c- replied to Alicia Dodd's discussion 'Spots for dexcom?!' in the group Dexcom Users"A note about Tegaderm -- it's not the only adhesive you can use. I turned out to be allergic to it, so I switched to IV3000, which has been OK so far. But there are other dressings out there, so just in case Tegaderm doesn't work for you,…"
Rebecca replied to Alicia Dodd's discussion 'Spots for dexcom?!' in the group Dexcom Users"Just to add another spot I like to put it on my thigh (inside or outside from about 1" above the knee all the way up to the top of the thigh). It's fairly out of the way and sometimes it's just nice to have a clear stomach area!"
"I actually read from the Omnipod group that everyone uses Tegederm for their itchness from it...I just ordered some because I tend to have the same problem with the dexcom when I put both of them on my stomach...I cant wait to see if it works!"
"Thank yall! I will have to try my back side and arms....I run out of "fresh" spots on my stomach (like metheniac said) where I keep putting it and if I resuse near an old spot it seems to hurt worse so I'm trying to find somewhere…"
"LOL. It's hard enough for me to get the boogers into my stomach! Not sure how others put it on their arm. Possibly if I had some assistance. I live alone. Be sure and get some Tegaderm from the pharmacy. After 7 days you can restart the sensor…"
Gary replied to Alicia Dodd's discussion 'Spots for dexcom?!' in the group Dexcom Users"Upper arm. Back side. You'll need help getting it there. My wife does it for me. Every once in a while, one will hurt there, but usually I completely forget that it's there."
metheniac replied to Alicia Dodd's discussion 'Spots for dexcom?!' in the group Dexcom Users"Hi Alicia, It is my understanding that Dex will only advise you to put the sensor on your stomach, b/c it has been approved by the FDA. Many people on this site use the back of their arm, thigh and probably other places. I personally have not tried…"
Sindhilicious replied to Alicia Dodd's discussion 'Spots for dexcom?!' in the group Dexcom Users"back, stomach, upper butt/hip"
