awillie replied to Brusters's discussion 'Marinating a New Sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"i also have taped Opsite Flexifix over the transmitter (even multiple layers) without a problem :-)"
awillie replied to Brusters's discussion 'Marinating a New Sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"i am an avid "marinater" :-) often i will insert a new sensor before bed when i have a fairly stable blood sugar with which i am comfortable going to bed, stop the other, attach the transmitter and leave it over night before pushing…"
Annie replied to Brusters's discussion 'Marinating a New Sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"Oh and I've been getting 2-3 weeks with a sensor. Haven't tried it for longer."
Annie replied to Brusters's discussion 'Marinating a New Sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"I asked someone at Dex this question, and this is her direct quote from and email "Yes- this has been done. I would cover or tape the flap down so the sensor contacts are not compromised. Transmitters snapped in actually protect the inserted…"
Kate replied to Brusters's discussion 'Marinating a New Sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"I've thought about this, too. However, I don't want the part that the sensor sits in to flop around and move the sensor in my leg. (that sounds really weird when I re-read it. sorry for my lack of technical words to describe this!). If you…"
jrtpup replied to Brusters's discussion 'Marinating a New Sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"I ordered mine online, haven't looked at a local pharmacy but they can probably get it for you. Google it, and choose the cheapest price ;)"
mhynes replied to Brusters's discussion 'Marinating a New Sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"Can you get that at a local pharmacy or do you need to order it?"

metheniac replied to Brusters's discussion 'Marinating a New Sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"I have had one fall off in the three months that I have been using the DEX. I now use opsite flexifix tape which really holds it firmly. I cut four small strips to go on the outside pad only. Do not cover the sensor! The tape comes in a 2" x 23…"
"I love my seven also. Mine came out just 5 days after because I hit my arm and it feel out. I used tape but the tape broke me out Do you use any tape or glue to make it stay."
metheniac replied to Brusters's discussion 'Marinating a New Sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"I used to do what you are describing when I used the Medtronic CGM, with some success. Since I switched to DEX, I haven't felt the need, as my numbers are pretty accurate most of the time - right from the get go. If you try your experiment and…"
MrsGink replied to Brusters's discussion 'Marinating a New Sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"Unless you had a spare inactive transmitter to put in I wouldn't do it."
Carolyn A. replied to Brusters's discussion 'Marinating a New Sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"When it is time to insert a new one, just hit restart.... you sensor should last a couple weeks. Regardless.... you receiver makes you wait the 2 hour time out."
