[QUOTE="iHs, post: 1210675, member: 8799"] HI think where a small child is involved using Dexcom sensors, the accuracy can diminish after 7 days but that might be where on the body the sensor is inserted and how well the adhesive stays firmly stuck for. Look on u tube for details on sensor placement for children. Adults in UK tend to use Opsite Tegaderm film over the top but that also sticks to the surrounding areas and is a bit ouchy when pulling off hence the need for adhesive remover to be sprayed or dabbed first. Best to budget for sensors to be replaced every 7 to 10 days if a child plus the cost of purchasing the transmitters. The G5 is slightly better than the G4 with less lag time but it's all bout money and what can be afforded. [/QUOTE]
