Action
Apply Sensors only on the back of your upper
arm . Avoid areas with scars, moles, stretch marks
or lumps .
Select an area of skin that generally stays flat
during your normal daily activities (no bending
or folding) . Choose a site that is at least 2 .5 cm
(1 inch) away from an insulin injection site . To
prevent discomfort or skin irritation, you should
select a different site other than the one most
recently used .
Clean application site with an alcohol wipe and
allow site to dry before proceeding . This helps
the Sensor stay attached to your body .
Note: The area MUST be clean and dry,
otherwise the Sensor may not stick to the site .
