Mastering CGM Sensor Application: A Step-by-Step Guide for Diabetes Management

Are you tired of the painful process of checking blood sugars, especially in the midst of a busy day? Discover a game-changer in diabetes management – the Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system from Fitterfly Wellness. In this step-by-step video, we’ll walk you through the painless application process, ensuring you can monitor your glucose levels effortlessly.

 

🩸 The CGM system checks your glucose levels every 15 minutes for a full 14 days – no pricking required!

🔧 Here’s What Your CGM Kit Includes:

  • Sensor Pack
  • Sensor Applicator

👁️‍🗨️ Before Applying the CGM Sensor:

  • Identify a suitable site on the back of your arm, preferably the non-sleeping side.
  • Wear comfortable or short sleeves for easy application.
  • Avoid areas with scars, moles, stretch marks, lumps, or insulin injection sites.

🌡️ The Application Process:

  1. Sanitize your hands and clean the application area with the provided alcohol wipe. Let it dry thoroughly.
  2. Remove the lid from the sensor pack and align the applicator with it. Press down until you hear a click.
  3. Lift your arm, fold it towards your shoulder, and lift it up. This is the ideal position for application.
  4. Gently press the applicator onto the selected site. Remove it carefully, ensuring the sensor is secure.

 Tips for Sensor Care Over the Next 14 Days:

  1. Be gentle while showering, drying off, or passing through doors.
  2. Opt for clothes with comfortable sleeves to prevent dislodgement.
  3. Exercise caution during workouts to avoid excessive sweating that might affect the sensor’s accuracy.
  4. The sensor is water-resistant, but avoid submerging it for over 30 minutes.
  5. Postpone procedures like MRI, CT scan, or x-ray until after the sensor’s expiry to prevent damage.
