Doug K replied to Cheryl's discussion 'sensor falling off' in the group Dexcom Users"just like the others i use skin tac. rub the spot with alcohol, let that dry. i apply the skin tac directly on the glue side of the sensor, let it sit for a minute or two. definitely good for a week or so.
good luck."
Brad Ringer replied to Cheryl's discussion 'sensor falling off' in the group Dexcom Users"My sensors come loose after several days of showers. When the adhesive fabric starts getting loose around the edge (it's always the top where the water beats down), I use IV3000 over it. I have tried may ways, but the latest way seems to work…"
J A Jones replied to Cheryl's discussion 'sensor falling off' in the group Dexcom Users"I "de-fat" the skin with vigorous rubbing (until slightly red) with alcohol wipe the use IV Prep and cover with the same type of clear dressing as I use for my pump site. It will stay in up to two weeks. I perspire heavily and have no…"
etta amy replied to Cheryl's discussion 'sensor falling off' in the group Dexcom Users"I totally missed that you were talking about "Tac" not "Prep". I've never used Skin Tac, sounds like the big guns!"
Cheryl replied to Spenser Beasley's discussion 'Ordered the omnipod, NERVOUS' in the group Omnipod Users"LOL to stop the strip from clicking together just stick a cotton ball or 2 in the strip bottle. :)"
Cheryl replied to BarbraW's discussion 'Pretty pod cases' in the group Omnipod Users"Thanks just ordered two. :)"
Cheryl replied to Cheryl's discussion 'sensor falling off' in the group Dexcom Users"Thanks for all the tips. I used skin tac yesterday and it has not budged so great.."
Shannon replied to Cheryl's discussion 'sensor falling off' in the group Dexcom Users"I use Skin-Prep for all of my Pod adhesions. But, with the Dexcom sensor, I need the extra stickiness that Skin Tac provides."
"I'm with Ann!
The "adhesive helper" layer, which Skin-Prep wipes leave behind when the liquid dries up, ALSO makes a great barrier against adhesive irritation. (Without 'em, I get nasty red bumps. But YMMV, of course.) Like…"
Ann Squire replied to Cheryl's discussion 'sensor falling off' in the group Dexcom Users"I use skin prep wipes over the whole area, not avoiding the spot where the needle goes in. When the skin prep dries, it leaves a kind of film on the skin, not sticky, but it apparently helps the sensor adhesive to stay on. For good measure, after I…"
David replied to Cheryl's discussion 'sensor falling off' in the group Dexcom Users"I use Mastisol and a q-tip. Put the mastisol on the fabric before putting the sensor on, let dry and then apply to skin and press. I've always gotten a full 14 days without so much as a loose edge."
