Guardian 3 sensor body location

[auswi]

Hello,

Where do you find the Medtronic Guardian 3 sensor works the best on your body. Have only tried the abdomen looking to try the back of arms or other areas

cheers

Only used abdo. Back or arm is too much of a faff for me. I've pretty much lost any faith in the sensors after another one failed. Never had this issue with the 640 and Enlite sensors. I'm probably going to try manual mode and see if this works and stable. If not then I'm gonna look at my options.

I just use it on my arms. I will say however, that if you have a willing participant to help you with it, it makes life a lot easier. You would die laughing if you could see me doing it on my own, I have even resorted to placing the needle inserter into a vice in the garage to help me pull it out. But it's definitely worth the hassle in the arms as I find that it's more out of the way and so far I haven't had any failures over the 4months I've been using them.
