Learn all about Dexcom as the internet applauds Turning Red

Dexcom is a leading diabetes care technology. By hearing the exact requirements of their users, providers, and caregivers, Dexcom improves and simplifies the management of diabetes all across the world.

Dexcom sensors are generated with an extremely special adherent to help them stick to the users' skin after the insertion of the sensor. However, as skin types vary, users may observe that their sensor patch starts to peel off slowly ahead of the end of the sensor session.

This extra care may help users keep the patch on for a complete sensor session, and users can also utilize adhesive supplements.

As skin types differ, users' patches may take some time to dry and stick completely. If users insert a brand new sensor before going to bed, they should make sure that the warmup period is full before going to sleep.

To improve the adhesion of the patch, users should make sure not to place the patch where their skin folds when they bend, where there is hair, or near their waistband.

Users' sensor sites should always be clean, flat, and dry before users insert the sensor. If users choose to utilize some extra adhesive, they should apply it under the patch to avoid the needle inserting spot. After that, they should let it dry properly.
