[QUOTE="GiveItAway, post: 2410086, member: 544400"] Hi. I had a telephone appointment with the doctor the other day and he said that it was okay to use the stomach as an alternative placement to the back of the arm. Though officially I think there is no word from Abbott about placing the sensors anywhere but the aforementioned back of arm. What I did forget to ask the doctor was exactly where on the stomach he was implying it was okay to place the sensor. Does anyone have any ideas? I want to give the backs of my arms a rest and besides I have been losing some days of the sensors life recently (possibly due to sleeping on my side and putting pressure on the sensors). I am quite lean so not much fat if that makes a difference. I looked at some videos on youtube about this but quite frankly they sucked big time. The usual Youtube cockiness and style over substance. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
