When I am using my arms with the Dexcom 6 sensor, I have some one else (usually another T1) apply it. I can not use the inside of my arm because it will not stay on for the 10 days because of sweet and humidity when I am working. I have tried the placing it on the back of the arm but have knocked too many sensors off while working. The best arm placement for me, is in a position where I can not see the sensor but is not rubbing on my chest. I have tried using the bathroom mirror, but have stuffed up a couple of sensors when trying to insert the transmitter. I prefer to have someone else apply the sensor when using my arms. I too change arms with each sensor replacement.

Has anyone tried to fit the Dexcom sensor onto their arm. I have been using the Tslim pump for about 2 months with the Dexcom sensor after moving off the Libre 2. Having the cannula and sensor on the stomach is a bit much. Regards
