Thank you so much for this video. I was diagnosed with Type 1 at 40 years old 2 weeks ago and I've basically been walking blindly through all of this. I had put my first sensor on my stomach 10 days ago and I didn't like how much it bled - so I wanted to try the arm. I'm so thankful I found your video. I did it right along with you, and your helpful, real instruction helped me not feel so much anxiety. I got it done and it's now warming up! Thank you! I'm subscribing

Your vid popped up 1st when I searched. Gonna do arm as my left, right side of stomach is getting tired 😂 Thanks 🙏🏾

Thank you! Less painful than the stomach. I new to this stuff. So your video was a blessing. So excited it’s on my arm and not my stomach.

Thanks for posting. I’m new to Dexcom and this was my second time inserting. The first time was on my stomach, but the arm is a little more ideal. Your video was easy to follow along and you did a great job of showing as well as telling us what to do. Appreciate it.

I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and I was extremely nervous about using this...I even had a mild anxiety episode, but let tell you after I found and watched this video I was calm and extremely confident about not only doing it, but doing it on my own (was going to ask my partner for help, who's worse, lol)...I was able to do it today, in less than 10 minutes by myself... Thank youuuuu...❤❤❤

Thank you so much! I was nervous to insert the sensor but you made it so simple! Thanks again!

Thank you very much. I was told nurse would show me but with covid I had no call and no nurse. Much more comfortable than the Medtronic that has a very deep needle that then is removed and a plastic wire stays. Much more accurate too. My favorite part. My fingers don’t burn all the time. Best of luck.

Thank you!!! Just got mine today and I looked at their site and it actually is approved for use on the arm now too!

Although I do not have a Dexcom, I am interested in getting one and have contacted my Endocrinologist. Watching your video has certainly instilled confidence in me being able to apply the senator/transmitter. Thank you for your demonstration and being such a supportive person in the diabetes community!

thank you so much. Had a bad experience before inserting cgm. followed your instructions and did it perfectly. it is now warming u

My daughter and I have found your videos most helpful compared to all that’s out there. She has been living with T1 since she was seven and she’s now 13. She placed it on her arm by herself! Thank you for sharing!

Thankyou for your video, my son just upgraded from a G4/5 to a G6 and this was our first time applying the new G6. Your video made it so easy many thanks.

Thank a lot for the video; it’s very assuring. Im a parent of a toddler that has been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. I have just received his Dexcom and this video helped me get a good concept of it.. thanks a lot

Great video.. I have used the libre freestyle and libre 2 .. lately they have been so so and I feel like after 2 years of using .. I have out grown it

Great instructional video. Thanks for being an encouragement for all!

Hi. I’m 28 and was diagnosed earlier this year. I just want to say thank you for the easy walkthrough 😁 you’re the best!

Thanks so much for the video. I have a Medtronic pump and use my stomach for my sites. I didn't want to add another patch to my stomach so watching you use your arm was very helpful. For anyone who thought it hurt to insert, go up to a wall and push your arm against it. It will plump up the area so that when you insert, it does not hurt. Hope that helps.

Christel, thank you ever so much for making this video easy for an “Oldie but a Newbie.”(75) You’re truly a blessing. 😇

Thank You so much. Its really nice to have some help when you're a newbie like 😊 me.

Thank you so much for this! I’m switching from Medtronic to Dexcom this week and this has been the most helpful thing

Thank you for this video, I'm going on to the Dexcom next week and nobody has told me how to use it, I appreciate your help, It seems to get harder the longer I've had this damn illness, I'm 43 now and had it since I was 13, I've had major problems with my Medtronic 670g the last 2 years and it's made my life a living hell, hopefully, moving on to this will help and videos like this help a lot.

I watched your video a few minutes ago to put on my Dexcom and your instructions were simple and easy. Thank you ☺️

EXCELLENT instructional video, thank you.

I have ordered my first dexcom g6 and have been too scared to insert it. I decided to google to see if there were any videos and yours came up. Thank you so much for sharing this. Ive subscribed ❤ i managed to insert the dexcom G6 without any issues because of you. Very grateful i found your video. Looking forward to watching more of your vidoes. Ive only just been diagnosed with pre diabetes (after having loads of symptoms for approx 4 years and its only now been picked up... over $10k on specialists, cardiologist, scans, every blood test you can imagine, naturopaths etc etc. It was picked up because twice i had high blood sugar on fasted blood tests and i told the dr i want more testing. She brushed it off saying i must have had sugar the night before, i don't eat sugars. Im on strict meal plans as i do body building and train 6 days a week im also vegan. I have an appointment with an endocrinologist at the end of January so I'm sure ill get more answers then. Thank you again.

Thank you! I've only used my stomach when I had a g4 and it wasn't a good spot for me, now I know how to put it on my arm my g6 will be so much easier!

Thank you, this simplifies everything.

Thank you for posting, I was so nervous about doing this, but your video was easy to follow and made the process easy!

you're great... thanks for the great instructions...

Thank you! It was so easy to follow along as I installing mines for the first time today along with your video!!

Ty very much for taking the time to make this video. It was extremely helpful. Very good production on your video.

Thank you! I've done the trial before so I've luckily seen how to do it. But I was surprised when I finally got one of my own and my kit arrived without any instructions! I'm gonna try my arm next time instead of my stomach!

Great job. Thank you.

Soo good and explained so well!!! Thanks!

You did an exceptional job!!! Thank you. You made it look so easy.

Omg it was so easy I was terrified until I did it with your video. I'm in tears of joy. Thanks so much!!!!

Thank you for your explain ❤❤

Thank you!!! Just did my first change

Thank you. I'm getting my Dexcom in 2 weeks moving from Libre sensor 2. I'm Type 3C diabetic & noone I know has 1 so THANK YOU..... LOVE FROM LONDON ♥️

Thank you so much for video just got mine very helpful

Thank you for this very informative video

Very helpful. Thank you. I was so confused until I watched your video

Thank you bella!

thank you so much ! just got one today for our 2 year old !

Thanks for your demonstration. It helped me a lot. I am a previous Libre user and when I saw all the gadgets for the G6 it was a bit intimidating.

thank you

Thank you so much

Thank you for this video. I just put on my first sensor. I got it for free to try and last week I tried the Libre 2 for free as well but it fell off randomly after 7 days lol Geeze Louise. I really liked it while I had it. I hope I like the Dexcom one too... Libre was an amazing experience. But I wish it make with something to place over the sensor to make it really stay like how this Dexcom one has. Take care!

Thank you for posting, tried inserting the sensor on my 9 year old boy following the quick set up instructions, when I added the transmitter, he started to cry in pain, he could feel a needle and had a wobble about diabetes. After watching your video, I will try again. You speak very clearly and it was easy to follow x

Thanks.on monday my son will be having his first time.thank you for your video .

I just got my device today & this video was so easy & helpful to follow ❤ I been a diabetic since I was 10-11 😅

My wife just upgraded to the G6 from the G5. I put the sensor on her arm, but had it horizontal. I saw you did it vertically. That should make it stick better next time. We may try her stomach area sometime. I agree that the alcohol wipes are the most important step to get it to stick well. Thanks for the tips!!

Thank you for this wonderful video, it gave me the confidence to do it for the first time Kind blowing technology

That's amazing ! You're amazing ! Ty!

Thank you for your help. I just help my dad put his on.

Omg my dr put in an order for mine today I can’t waaaaiiiittttt 😩😩 can’t wait till I’m “worthy” of a pump 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I was able to get my Freestyle Libre 2 to stick for 14 days by washing the skin, using a provided cleansing cloth and using alcohol. I also used Skin-Tac to make the area sticky. I have eczema so have to use lotion hence the washing, cleansing routine to remove lotion & dead skin. Did you ever find that skin oils or lotion wasn't removed just with the alcohol wipe and that affected long-term adhesion? I'm brand new to the Dexcom system and am just wondering about how good the adhesion is.

Thanks Ms Lady am new to this and at first having it on my stomach was painful… Especially if your top heavy 😂

I will try this I get nasty rashes on my stomach from this sensor . I never got any using the libre but i will try this on my am .

Do you need Tegaderm film so it won't pull away from the skin and keep it on to make it last? I have to on my Medtronic but looking to change. Thank you.

Just got mine on lessssgoo

How often can I use the back of the arm? I'm new at this. Thanks for any advice.

I'm gonna try this after a couple of monthly injections that the nurses do on both of my arms. So, now I've got potentially 4 spots to rotate my CGM in. Hopefully, that is okay. I've only been using the Dexcom for 2 months and it's always been on the stomach.

Hi, I wanted to know if you have travel to Central America and use your dexcom or freestyle ?

Where on your leg do you use the dexcom g6,I'm guessing it would have to be on the thigh area,just wondering if it would be on front, outside or inside of thigh and if one spot might be better or more comfortable,thanks, I love your videos, I've been diabetic for 43 years,and thanks to people like you Im still learning something new all the time♥️♥️♥️

Just watched with my 9 year old daughter hoping to get her dexcom soon, thank you. Could I have a link to the glue remover please?

I just got the dexcom but not trying it until next week but do you apply pressure when you insert it or no pressure?

Thyank you so very much for the video!! I recieved my dexcom g6 today. i recieved 9 sensors but only 1 transmitter. Is that normal?

I just got diagnosed with Gestational diabetes and I found that pricking my finger four times a day is very hard for me, especially since I’m scared of needles and blood. Would this be a good alternative?

Amazing video, very helpful! Do you always insert in the same area? Do you switch between the side or back of your arm?

This is very helpful 💕I just got my dexcom and I'm a type 1 diabetic. Is the arm better than the stomach? (I would love you as a mom , your amazing)

Can you use skin tac wipes on the Dexcom 6?

I'm newly diagnosed type 2 and will be getting my Dexcom this week. I want to put it on my my upper arm, but I have tattoos. Will tattoos affect the sensor?

I've been hesitant to insert on my arm since I've had multiple instances when I bleed too much from insertion on my stomach. I fear it might be worse if I try to insert on my arm where it is more taught and I have less fat compared to stomach. Have you had any issues with bleeding after insertion? I notice your arms are very toned!

In the 2 hr waiting period for warm up can you eat a snack or drink water/coffee or is it totally noting by mouth?

How do you take it off with the adhesive and needle

I read in a previous video not to press hard when pressing the orange button as pressing hard can cause bleeds. After using my G6 for past 6 months I had my first (and hopefully last) bleed. I had to remove the sensor (total waste), and now I'm waiting for my "Once bitten twice shy" thing to subside before I insert another sensor. BTW it WAS BLEEDING HEAPS!!

Also - is it normal for the dexcoms to bleed? The one on my stomach bled, the one on my arm is bleeding more than the stomach one. It's not seeping into the white part - yet - but, it makes me nervous!

Is it OK,to put in your arm and u see a little blood around the adhesive?

How long sensor maintains accuracy or how often needs changing?

Hi. So this product does not inject a needle in your body? Just to make sure I understand. Thank you for video !

We just changed the new transmitter. We paired the transmitter and the sensor. Paired with the phone was fine but tried to pair the sensor with the dexcom receiver it didn’t want to work..after the msg said wait for 2 hrs sensor warm up.. not even 2 hrs then it said failed.. tried couple times.. what do I do wrong? How do I fix this? Thank you

the eversense e3 6 month sensor is the most accurate and convenient one year sensor available soon

Instead of using Dexcom supplied reciever, How easy it is to use your mobile phone as receiver? I an using Samsung Z fold 4 phone and would like to use this device as receiver. In past have you published any video showing mobile phone as receiver?

2:49 I looked for it, but couldn't find anything bout it. What is the serter? ~ 2:45 What exactly is happening when you press the button? A needle goes under the skin?

Where can we get heavy duty tape to cover the device ???

Thank you for this. I just switched from libre but the app isn’t compatible with my new Samsung s22 phone….urghh

Hello it is me again. So does anybody kkkw if I can use an old transmitter in a new setup applicator thing ? Like what I am trying to say is thst , so my first system came; I got it working and it was great, but by the second day I accidentally ripped it off with a couple shirts I had on, so Dexcom sent me out a new replacement : but I can’t find the new little transmitter box! Am I supposed to use my old one ? Ty Mark from Newfoundland.

Hii I’m only 16 years old I’m at the doctors now and I’m getting my first DexcomG6 I’m so scared I don’t know where to put it

How do you shower with it in without damaging it / go to gym?

will be helping my wife with her Dexcom, prob a stupid question.......but how do you take it off? lol1

How do you take it off?

Wow that is a huge piece of plastic that gets thrown away. I wish they could make that reusable in some way. 😊

Does the sensor have a needle that goes into the skin?

On a scale of 1 to 10 how painful is it?

I’m getting tested for type 1 diabetes and I just wanna be prepared wish me Luck I have type 2 diabetes yay…

Does it have any side effects on health?

Is this painful?

I have to type 2

Mine really hurts on my arm and bleeds alot

Does it actually have a needle? 😮
