Questions and answers
Where can you place the sensor
You can place the Dexcom G7 sensor on:
- The back of the upper arm
- The abdomen (not for pregnant women)
- The upper buttocks (for ages 2-6 years only)
Ensure the site is at least 3 inches (8 cm) from any insulin pump infusion set or injection site, away from waistbands, scarring, tattoos, irritation, and bones, and in a spot unlikely to be bumped, pushed, or laid on while sleeping.
