Learning how to get the Dexcom on is tough, especially for new users. Getting Dexcom to stay on can often be a greater challenge.
Everybody has different skin type and many factors determine what your skin type is. The weather, your diet and level of daily activity all affect skin composition. So how do you know which brand or kind of tape will be most compatible with your skin? Are there fewer or extra steps you should take when it comes to applying and removing tape with your specific skin type?
The answer is: YES!
This is why ExpressionMed asked a few of our customers to create a profile. Marcy, Megan and Wesley all have their own tips and tricks to get the longest wear out of their Dexcom tape:
