2.2 Choose a Site
Choosing a comfortable, eective place for your sensor is important.
Discuss ideal sensor insertion sites with your Healthcare Professionals
(HCP).
WARNING:
Do not choose other sites. As the other sites have not been
clinically evaluated, your sensor glucose results could be inaccurate.
TIPS:
• Place the sensor at least 7 cm (3 inches) from your insulin pump
infusion set or injection site.
• Make sure the insertion area is dry, clean and free of lotions,
perfumes, and medications. If needed, shave the area so adhesive
tape sticks securely.
• Avoid areas near waistbands or with scars, tattoos, irritation, and
bones. Contact your HCP if sensor adhesive irritates your skin.
• Do not use the same site for 2 sensors in a row.
