How is a sensor placed in the buttock?

Dido's profile photo   08/04/2018 5:30 a.m.

Hello and thank you all for your comments.
I have encouraged myself to put the sensor in the buttock, 10 hours before passing the sensor ...
The previous ten hours is because you have indicated it, I still know why or why not ...
The only paste is that yesterday the area around the sensor chopped ... Is that normal?Can it be due to the chlorine of the pool?
Thank you so much.A hug

I always put it in my arm and after reading the comments I dared to try in the gluteus.The sensor began by sending readings with low value continue until after one day it stopped working, perhaps the needle did not insert well, I do not know.In any case, the experience has not been good, so the next one I put it on my arm again and all good, as always.

The same thing happened to me, placed a couple of times in the thigh and I had a bad experience, you have to try.In the end my conclusion is always in the right arm the only difference is that I upload it or under a little but that is where they last me more, where I have better lesures and where at night as I sleep on the left side I do not give me problems.Also try once in the belly and more of the same.

There is a user's YouTube video, with whom I agree, he says that the sensors would have to work well in the places where we usually click, that is, arm, ass, gut and leg, I except in the leg (that I have not tried) in the rest of the sites I have had no problem, luck, placement, good sensors .. ??In the arm there are also sensors that give error so that more than the place of placement I think it is a sensor or failure failure of the placement of the same.-

There are some that bite but will depend on each person.It may be that in that area you are more sensitive to adhesive.
One of the time it hurt a lot, I put on the deadline 24 hours to take it out if I followed the pain but it happened to me and I had it without problems.
You will tell us how it measures you.

Hello good evening!I am new here, I have put the sensor for the first time in the upper part of the buttock but it gives me error.The truth is that I only put it 4h before.As soon as I passed it, I have marked me and then I try again 10 min.The truth is that I was very happy to release the arms a season but now I am afraid to put another new one in the buttock.
I have read that many take it and the truth is that I see it a more practical place.
What do you advise me?

I do not understand that "I have put it in gluteo and as I have failed I will not put it anymore in gluteo" ... it is not failing sensors putting them on the arms too !!

To me in my arms someone has failed me (by putting it new normally), now I have tried in glutearm.

I do not know when this entry was published, but I wanted to comment that after reading I dared to put the free in gluteo and I am delighted.I put it two days ago, I forgot not to activate it and I activated it at the time, from the beginning a difference of 10mg/dl with the capillary.
My arms were irritated with the adhesive, heat and fixomul.At the moment in the buttock I have not put Fixomul, to see if it lasts the 14 days….

About a month ago I was walking to my dog ​​and a kid was approaching to ask what race it was, I was going without a shirt and carried the sensor in the spotter intermediate zone, I told him, I am also diabetic but he took it on his arm, there is fine there, and told me that perfect.

He called the bride to get closer and told me, she also carries it like me, there are less hooks and friction with doors etc.
I have had such number of problems with the sensors, that if I were not in the gym and gave me those lots of sweat I would think very seriously.
I have come to change for about eight sensors in the month that was worse, it was already tension when placing the new sensor, waiting for the repeated message of exhausted or similar sensor, change sensor, after waiting timeof the beginning of a new one.
In the time I took with sensors I always used my arms for convenience, but I have seen leg sensors, buttocks, chest, forearm, twins, .....

to the freestyle.I wear it day and a half before activating it.30 hours.

I put it on when I expires the one that I carry at 14 days and it works perfect for me, you don't have to wait 30 h, it makes no sense

@Antonimar for free1 I needed many hours so that it did not make strangers, with free2 about 10 hours.The times that I have activated as soon as it puts it fatal, sometimes 100 above and another 60 below.It is erratic and I end with capillaries, better put it a few hours before so that the needle of impregnating well before activating it.
