[QUOTE="therower, post: 1656792, member: 47983"] Hi [USER=28097]@joanne75[/USER] . When I fix a new sensor I follow this routine. 1. Shave the chosen area. Larger than the actual patch size. 2 . Wash and dry the area thoroughly. 3. Wipe the area with an alcohol wipe. ( keep wipe to wipe transmitter prior to attaching to sensor) Allow to dry. 4. Apply skin tac. 5 Attach sensor as dexcom instructions. 6. Overlay the opsite patch ( cut to shape before starting) or apply custom made dexcom patch available off internet/ amazon. I find laying everything out on a table prior to starting helps. I also do a dry run as it were. I go through the application process by just picking everything up and then placing it back down again. Dexcom actually have all the applications on YouTube and you can actually see the process in real time with real people. Hope this helps, if I can help more just ask. [/QUOTE]
