Has / does anyone place their sensor on their bottom? Im going on holiday and would quite like to hide the sensor rather than have a nice white patch somewhere!

What's this sensor?

Hi Ash, I know parents place the sensors on their children's bums and Dexcom approve this for children so it must be ok. Suspect you might need a hand to place and insert though unless you are a contortionist :)
I have no idea if the sensor is from the libre though. Might look very odd swiping your bum with the reader lol.
 
Thanks @CarbsRok! I might give it a trial run first but can ask the other half to help out. Its the Dexcom I'm using so no swiping at my bum throughout the day
