Usage Tips and Who This Is For
- Applying your sensor: Wash with non-moisturing, fragrance-free soap on the application area. Clean with the alcohol wipe included to remove oils, then dry completely before applying.
- Site care: Shave excess arm hair if needed and avoid excessive rubbing after showers or swims to reduce sensor displacement.
- Wear considerations: Choose a site on the back of the upper arm that’s comfortable with your wardrobe; looser clothing can help prevent catching the sensor.
- Adhesion support: If needed, supplemental products (listed for reference) can improve adhesion during wear.
For those who want a discreet, hands-off way to monitor glucose with guidance aligned to Canadian reader compatibility, this sensor kit offers a practical option.
Follow the included product instructions for any specific wear times and compatibility notes with your reader to ensure accurate readings.
