Tips for Comfortable CGM Wear

Skin Preparation

Proper skin prep helps support comfortable CGM wear and may help with adhesion:
✔️ Wash skin with mild soap and water; allow to dry completely
✔️ Avoid lotions, oils, or sunscreen where the sensor adhesive will be applied
✔️ Trim excess hair in the area as needed
✔️ If you have sensitive skin, talk to your healthcare provider about using a skin barrier product before applying the sensor

Site Rotation

Rotating sensor sites helps support healthy skin and may reduce the risk of irritation. Always follow Dexcom’s recommendations for approved placement areas and rotation intervals.
