Where can I insert my G6 sensor?
Just like G5 Mobile, approved sensor insertion sites are on the belly (age 2 years and older) or the upper buttocks (ages 2-17 years).
Sensor placement is important and you will want to change your insertion site with each sensor. Using the same site too often might not allow the skin to heal, causing scarring or skin irritation.
Choose a site:
• At least 8 cm from any insulin pump infusion set or injection site
• Away from waistbands, scarring, tattoos, irritation, and bones
• Unlikely to be bumped, pushed, or laid on while sleeping
• At least 8 cm from any insulin pump infusion set or injection site
• Away from waistbands, scarring, tattoos, irritation, and bones
• Unlikely to be bumped, pushed, or laid on while sleeping
Follow the Dexcom G6 instructions for use. If you don’t, you could experience a severe low or high glucose event. If you have any questions regarding sensor insertion, placement, or otherwise, please refer to the Using Your G6 Guide for additional information.
