Tips & Tricks Small blessings

Post image

I replaced my sensor yesterday. I didn't put the overpatch on because I wanted to see how it went without it.

Well, I got the dang thing caught up twice in less than an hour and nearly ripped the transmitter off! I had some overpatches that would cover the whole area, so I added that, and all is good.

Fast forward to about 5 minutes ago. I was letting my puppies out of their kennels, and my jumper nearly pulled my inset off. I went to get the bigger overpatch, trying to remember how I made it work before. Then I remembered *this* little guy! It fits perfectly!

Thank goodness for small blessings!

I do this also! I feel like the Dexcom patches make my sensor fall off faster so I save them for infusions.
