So I wanted to give my stomach a bit of a back from my dexcom.sessors so I'm trusting it one my arm( I useally wear them on my stomach as there so much easier to insert with 2 hands plus less risk of comparison lows).but I'm not so sure I can't managed to get in the right place on arm IMG_20240613_213859.jpg
 
Looks okay to me. It is hard putting them in your arm, but good to give stomach a break. I aim for the ‘flabby’ bits where the sensors seem to avoid door frames etc. I use my arms all the time apart from when I have no assistance. Then I use abdomen. I have met others who use their legs.
Are you getting readings? That will be the tell tale sign.

Yeah I'm getting around. My stomach is actually where I inject(as it's very easy to catch a muslle so I thought hscing the whole area to rotate around rosye again would goudpppp(although could probably do with trumting other areas with that as well)

There's something about me that doesn't like using unapproved areas even if it's works
 
If the sensor fails and its in a 'off lable' site then you may not get a replacement...
I find back of arms is better than tummy, and most if the videos i have seen that compare sites find it 'the best'
