Where are the preferred body locations for wearing a glucose sensor?
Placement of the glucose sensor may be affected by clothing, comfort, individual preference or experience. In the case of people using insulin, users may want to avoid recent infusion sites. Clinical trials for sensor accuracy have only involved sensors inserted in the abdominal stomach area, and sensor accuracy may differ from that described in product labeling if the sensor is inserted in alternate locations on the body.
Placement of the glucose sensor may be affected by clothing, comfort, individual preference or experience. In the case of people using insulin, users may want to avoid recent infusion sites. While many people choose the abdominal stomach area, an alternative location is on the upper buttocks. This location is less likely to be bumped or affected by clothing at the waistline.
