Dexcom One+

Anyone else had trouble unscrewing dexcom one+ applicator ? I had to put it in a vice last time. Any solutions?

Only ever used the DexcomOne+ on the free trial
that one opened no problem, I must admit the Libra’s I can struggle sometimes to firmly grip and undo the cover (from the applicator) but I’ve never needed to use the vice
I do these days find many things virtually un-openable especially jars etc (early signs of arthritis)
I find one of these openings devices most useful we got ours in HomeSense (TK Max)

Just got my first one and didn't have an issue opening it myself, even in the middle of a Fibro/PsA flare which affects my hands and wrists a fair amount.
Possibly pure anxiety induced determination in my case though.

Other than a slightly damp tea towel, I think the gadget @goodybags suggested could be a good buy! 🙂

If you ever struggle with unscrewing jar lids or anything else where you need a good grip, washing up gloves work really well, to give you better grip and leverage.

Thank you - I'll get one of those!

Thanks for the tip - will give that a try!
