This question has been on my mind. I am finally ready to jump on the CGM train... I have found answers for all my other questions now getting to the absolute nitty-gritty in terms of criteria (ofc its my doc's choice, I just want to do due diligence)... I guess I am just really concerned about the ease of insertion for possible CGMs that I could use.

Would really appreciate your help,

Best,

Husert
 
@Husert123 . Welcome to the forum.
I use Dexcom G6. Insertion is literally the press of a button. Occasionally you will feel the insertion, not a pain but a bit like an injection.with an insulin pen.
The actual piece that goes under the skin is not much thicker than an hair and goes in at a 45 degree angle. Total length of the insertion is about 25 mm.
Hope this helps regarding Dexcom.
