[QUOTE="Deleted member 527103, post: 2671714"] I either use my high upper arm or my.abdomen. If I am usng.my arm, I pla e it as far back as I can reach (I am quite flexible), as high as I can go without hitting my shoulder and as far "under" without going in my arm pit. This is rarely visible in summer, never catches when going through a door and too high to lie on. If I am using my abdomen, I place it high in the area between my ribs. I would place it lower but I need to keep it away from my pump which is below my belly button. Edited to add : both the areas I mentioned do not "bend". For me, the most common reason for losing a sensor in the past was not placing it on a flat area or on an area that moved when I forced. Seems obvious but sensors do not bend but arms and abdomen do and when that happens, the sensor starts to peel off. [/QUOTE]
