Alright, I am currently wearing my dexcom 7 and pod both bellow the belt! I have the pod on my leg and the dexcom above my butt. I am getting ready for my trip, where I will be doing a lot of swimming. Anyone ever wear their dexcom in this spot?? I have only worn it on my stomach. How does the dexcom deal with water? I will be away until Monday. I will be doing some crazy crazy eating, wish me luck!!! I will try and vlog about it along the way. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!! | |

Cover your sensor with a couple of IV3000s if you have it to keep it more water resistant. The DexCom rep told me this, it lets you stay in the water longer than 30 minutes. And I have worn sensors on my upper butt and on my thigh. Both areas work fine as long as you have an inch to pinch (some meat there). | |
