STEP 1: CHOOSING THE SITE
The sensor is the key to getting a complete glucose picture so don’t forget to apply the sensor with care:
​
-
Select an area of skin on the back of your upper arm that generally stays flat during normal daily activities (no bending or folding).
-
Avoid areas with moles, scarring or tattoos.
-
Choose a site that is at least 2.5 cm away from an insulin injection site.
-
To prevent discomfort or skin irritation, you should select a different site other than the one most recently used.
