Blair commented on Ioana's group 'Scuba Diving'"Hi scuba divers,
Have a question about the Dexcom transmitter and diving. It's been a year since I was diagnosed (type 1), and I just last week did my first dive since that time. I wore my Dexcom transmitter down to max depth of 60 ft with…"
"Blair,
I use the Omnipod and surf here OC, CA all the time. I use Optsite tape to hold it down as the adhesive gets wet and will lose stickiness. I wear my omnipod on the side of my butt cheek and i can't even tell it's there half the…"
Andy replied to Blair's discussion 'Any diabetic surfers?' in the group Athletic Diabetics"I've surfed a few times... I would unclip my Animas pump, but had the site on my stomach usually, and they would get torn right off. The grippiness of the board was just too much for them. If you expect to be surfing, I'd try to place pods…"

etta amy replied to Blair's discussion 'Dexcom sensor coming unstuck' in the group Dexcom Users"I scrub with a washcloth and a skin cleanser that has little apricot pit thingees in it, to get rid of the dead skin."
Jay replied to Blair's discussion 'Dexcom sensor coming unstuck' in the group Dexcom Users"I really agree with Bill about getting the dead skin cells and oils off of the skin. I rub the new insertion area with alcohol until pink and the alcohol wipe is nearly dry. Has worked well for both my Dex and my Ping."
Bill Halper replied to Blair's discussion 'Dexcom sensor coming unstuck' in the group Dexcom Users"I've found that vigorously rubbing the area where the sensor is going to be stuck with a clean washcloth really helps adhesion. I try to remove as many of the dead skin cells as possible...there's no sense in clogging the adhesive up with…"
Robert Yancey replied to Blair's discussion 'Dexcom sensor coming unstuck' in the group Dexcom Users"see my post above. I've tried that too. doesn't work well. try the IV3000 tabs from edgepark. They're awesome!"
Robert Yancey replied to Blair's discussion 'Dexcom sensor coming unstuck' in the group Dexcom Users"I run nearly everday and after two to three showers a day I found they were wearing out and coming off in about 3 days. I've been using the IV3000 also mentioned below and it works well for me. I get the 4"x 4.5" size ones. I've…"
jojojovich replied to Blair's discussion 'Dexcom sensor coming unstuck' in the group Dexcom Users"Hm, I see this Blenderm recommendation for tape. I'm using the large size flexible Band Aids to try to cover up the whole thing and keep it in place. Mine starts to unpeel almost right away, and I find the more skin-tone bandages make it blend…"
Bobbi replied to Blair's discussion 'Dexcom sensor coming unstuck' in the group Dexcom Users"I use Blenderm , a 3M surgical tape. It holds well and is hypoallergenic."
