Can I shower or swim while wearing my Dexcom CGM?
Once inserted, your Dexcom ONE+ sensor is waterproof up to 2.4 meters. The receiver isn't. Swim, shower, and take a bath with the sensor, but leave the receiver out of the water. If you're in or near water, your display device may need to be closer than 6 meters to get sensor readings. If you're in water, you may not get sensor readings until you get out.
The Dexcom CGM receivers are not water resistant or waterproof and can be damaged if moisture gets inside it. Water can also severely limit communication range with the Dexcom CGM, so you never want to prevent communication between the transmitter Dexcom CGM and display devices. This could cause the receiver to become damaged and a patient to miss a severe low or high blood glucose event or make a treatment decision that can result in injury.
