Dexcom G5 User Manual page 85

Choose a place on your belly (or if user is between the ages of 2 and 17,
upper buttocks) to insert the sensor; the site should be either above or below
your belt line. The best areas are usually flat, "pinchable," and free from where
rubbing can occur (along the waist band, seat belt strap or where you lie when
sleeping).
For more help on ideal sensor insertion sites, contact your healthcare
professional.
