Back of body (upper buttocks)

Do:

• Remove the sensor applicator and attached transmitter holder from its

sterile pack only at time of use

• Place at least 3 inches from your insulin pump infusion set or injection

site

• If needed, shave the area so adhesive patch sticks securely

• Make sure area is clean and free of lotions, perfumes, medications

Don’t:

• Never use same site repeatedly for sensor insertion

• Never use same site for 2 sensor sessions in a row

If you have concerns about the transmitter holder not sticking, before inserting

your sensor, you can make the sensor site stickier to help ensure the

transmitter holder does not peel up.
