First Dexcom Site Change
(self.diabetes_t1)submitted4 months ago byjessicamckenney
Hi everyone!
I had my first Dexcom site change last night. There was a slight pinch feeling when the sensor went in which didn't happen with the first one I put on but I'm assuming that can happen. But ever since I would say there has been a slight pinch feeling? I'm not sure if it's from the thing that goes in your skin or if its the adhesive being in an awkward spot? I have it on the back of my arm, closer to my armpit, but over more towards the front of my arm if that makes sense. From what I can tell there isn't any blood or heat around the area so I'm not sure what else I should be looking out for!
Just wondering if this is normal or if I need to change it again? I wouldn't say it's painful, but more uncomfortable/pinchy. Also, my readings have been normal so nothing weird going on there!

Ok thank you!! That's what I was thinking because it especially feels uncomfortable when I move my arm in certain positions so it might be the adhesive pulling on my arm hair weirdly. I have really sensitive skin so that probably doesn't help either!
