Forum Post: Tired of my CGM hanging and i hate adhesives!

Kaelyn

I have a CGM and really like it, but i HATE wearing the adhesives over it. The CGM is so small and once i put the adhesive over it, it looks like I just had surgery. I hate this especially in the summer. I get way more questions when its all bandaged. Also the adhesive gets all gross, grey and peels...

Forum Post: Holding the CGM in place

Forum Post: Where do you wear your pump/sensor?

Rich

I have only seen a few other people wear their pump clipped to a belt or pocket. Since I started using a pump in 2002 and a CGM last fall, I've always clipped them to my belt. I am curious about how others wear your devices and if you are ever asked "...what is THAT?"

Forum Post: Another day with the cgms

infogirl

So my cgm ended late last night, and I decided to charge it up overnight so I wouldn't have to be awake for hours trying to get it calibrated before bedtime. Here's been my day so far. I got up at 9 and checked my blood sugar. It was a little high, but I knew if I corrected it, I'd have to...
