Hi all,
I'm looking into getting a CGMS system (probably dexcom) and am wondering about what site people use for their sensors and how it fits with work, life etc. I run, cycle, tango dance and occasionally rock climb and it would be good to know if anyone had worked out a "one site fits all" place that works for lots of activities. Any thoughts?
Cheers

Depends if it needs to be out of the way as well as not visable! i find my stomach great but the one time i tried to rock climb i snagged it. Maybe backs of arms would be good?
 
Mines placed about 3 inches up from the crook of my elbow. No chance of it rubbing or catching anything there.
 
Cheers guys, yeah arm seems like it could be ok as stomach seems like it'll catch a lot...
 
I'm s bit late in a game here :D I used my stomach at first but found it less convenient and harder to keep sticky on. I switched to my arm - just below a tshirt sleeve and I'm very happy. I do only sometimes snag it on a door frame, lol :)
