Most Continuous Glucose Monitoring Device application mistakes are completely avoidable, once you know what they are.
The three we see most often:
1. Applying the sensor over lotion or sunscreen
2. Using the same application site every time without rotating
3. Pressing down the lifting edge instead of using an adhesive patch
Any of these can affect your readings and irritate your skin over time.
At Regis Medical, we take our time to go through the entire application process with you, from choosing the right site to what to do if your sensor starts to lift early.
If you're using a CGM or thinking about starting, feel free to drop any questions in the comments or reach out to our team directly. We're always happy to help you get it right.
