Re: Fwd: Re: [IP] Dexcom
I use a latex based ostomy adhesive to make sure mine stick for the full two
weeks. Even after two weeks, it takes some effort (and occasionally some
adhesive remover) to get the sensor off. It's nice to not have to worry
about it coming off.

It's definitely YMMV. Mine usually last almost exactly 14 days. Accuracy is
pretty poor the first day or two on a new sensor for me. It's about the same
for the rest of the 14 days after that. I've been able to get them to last a
full month, but I don't expect it. I don't have issues with adhesion problems
because I tape them from day 1. I believe that taping increases accuracy.
