Not sure whether it was the swimming pool or the jacuzzi but the transmitter and sensor came away from my tummy only a few minutes after leaving the jacuzzi....rather worrying because I nearly lost the transmitter and I had only been wearing the sensor for five days...not sure what I will do next time I want to go swimming
 
Oh dear 🙂 Hopefully one of our pumpers or other CGM users can give you some good tips on keeping things secured/

Oh dear! Does it have to be attached ALL the time or can you have a break for such activities?
 
Hi the sensor has to be attached to the tummy all of the time. Each time it comes off it is ?62.50 for a new one 😱 so it was rather an expensive swim and jacuzzi:(
 
😱 Holy Moly!

Thats a night out on the pop!!!!!!! A tank of petrol!!!!!! A new dress!!!!! 6 spray tans!!!!!! 6,250 penny sweets!!!!!!!

In all seriousness, it sounds though from your other posts that you find it extremely useful so whats a little expense over your health!
