Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 527103" data-source="post: 2705554">I am in awe of people who sleep in one position. I am a wriggler who sleeps on both sides.My sensor is usually on my arm. I alter sensor arms every two weeks. This causes no problems.However, i am aware of the risk of compression lows - false low readings from CGMs where pressure applied on the sensor limits flow of interstitial fluid to the filament causing the sensor to report a false reading and potentially alarm. Therefore, I position my sensor high on my arm close to my arm pit as this is an area which I rarely lie on.In short, there is nothing wrong with putting your sensor on the arm on the side you usually sleep. However, take care not to apply direct pressure on the sensor.</blockquote>
