Thank you! I too Googled someone with a belly. My husband will start using the Dexcom G6 as soon as all the equipment arrives. :) The placement above the belly button will be helpful as I was wondering with my husband's belt line, how would he keep it from being bumped around. Also the stickies. I know that he'd be ready to give up if it kept coming unglued.

Hi Toni. You are so welcome!! Oh it's a challenge sometimes, buying the overlay patches work especially when showering. Yap of the belly button is good two on the sides and then even on the side of the belly. I've run into a lot of issues with some things I think I'm going to make a follow-up video and some other tips that I learned.

Tracey that's awesome! Omgosh Let me tell you. It's a challenge like on the right side sometimes I have issues with errors but when I put it above my abdominal of my belly button on both sides and then on the side of my left no issues. I'm so glad this helped you. I wanted to do this. Because I could say in myself you know these are issues that I don't know if anybody else is running into let me put it on and show people how to really do it and give some tips to be successful on using this dexcom. But let me tell you it really helps to know and monitor the blood sugar.

@thatssochris63482 жыл бұрын
They use numbing drops and they use a numbing gel. That dulls the eye. I feel discomfort when they give me the shot. But its momentary. They are somewhat under control just keeping the sugars down

I have been searching for someone who has a belly! I appreciate this video more than you will ever know! I have a belly and my arms have been taking a beating. I have used the libre too for quite a while now and decided to switch to the dexcom. I would love to put it on my belly because I keep getting hit on my arms and I have a dog and two cats. I also keep getting a snagged on my tank top straps and on my sundresses. I'm also sick of all the questions people asking me what it is, it just gets annoying after a while. But I was unsure as to whether or not I could put it on my belly how accurate it would be or if it would stay and I literally have been searching non-stop for someone who put it on a belly! Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for the video. I was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 46. I hope this CGM will help with my a1c. What is your typical a1c?
@thatssochris63482 жыл бұрын
Hello there, this will give you an overview of your A1c when you run your report in the app. It has been incredibly helpful to moniter my blood sugar I was dealing with not knowing if I was high or low as I had to do finger stick and at times i couldn't do it as I was shaking or out of it. This helped me big big time. my alc was 6.2, now its around 9. I've been off of my diet and I had bounced back from Covid and I went on a eating binge lol. Winter etc. I'm sorry about finding out you're a diabetic, but it can be controlled. Thank You for commenting and asking questions :)

Hey Mike Sorry for not responding sooner. I haven't addressed this in my future or recent vlogs after this one. Because of my diabetes at that time my A1C was high it never healed properly so I cannot bend it I was given the option of doing a graph where they take a portion of the tendon from my palm and do it, but the window of time wasn't enough, so I had no chose, but to live with it. If the diabetes wasn't a issue and controlled at that time I would of been good.
