What I did was put it in a ziploc bag to help keep it dry but I just left it on a lounge chair with my towels and stuff. Every once in a while I would get out and check my readings, and if I had gone out of range I'd wait a few minutes for the rea...

what do you do w/the receiver when you are a pool? Thanx!
October 27
The transmitter (the part that you wear) is when it's inserted. The insertion process creates a watertight seal. I have worn mine in the pool a few times without any problems. (Haven't tried a hot tub, though.) The receiver is not waterproof, howe...

Hi everyone. Thank you so much for all of your responses to my question. I got my dexcom on Friday and was amazed at how simple it is to use. I currently have it in my stomach, on the side and it is sticking pretty well as of right now, but I will...

If I were doing triathlons (umm, NO), I'd attempt the triceps site first. If that doesn't work out, I'd attempt love handles second. Loose clothing is required for this location, of course.

My abdomen works fine. It sticks well for the first seven day use. After that I cover it with some Tegaderm or the shower covers Dexcom used to issue for its older version. I carry the receiver in my Spibelt. Terry

Hey Spenser - I work out hard and sweat alot too, plus I do kickboxing so my whole body is in motion so I hear you. I have been wearing the sensor on the very top of my thigh towards the back, almost on my glute and had good results. If you're too...

I am a heavy exerciser, two hours a day minimum. I sweat profusely. I use the back of my upper arm and have had great results. The sensor functioned and stayed attached for 21 days. I used the Navigator before the Dex and the sensor stayed attache...

Oh sorry. I place the sensor on my abdomen. Haven't had any problems with it; however, I use some latex adhesive to make sure it stays put while sweating.

Welcome to TuDiabetes, Spenser. Wow, you and I were diagnosed just a few weeks apart. I was diagnosed on July 3, 1990. You might be interested in our discussion groups for Dexcom users or CGM users. I've been wearing a Freestyle Navigator (another CGMS) since Nov of '08 and love it.
