G7 on abdomen for seniors?
My mom is 85 years old, Type 2, in assisted living, and she uses a DexCom G7. She used the G6 and we always put it on her abdomen because being her age, she doesn't have muscle tone or much fat at all in her arms, and so her upper arms are, shall we say, "flappy" (she's not online, I think she would call them flappy too). Her abdomen is honestly ideal, but we just haven't made the switch because of 1) the FDA recs, and 2) she usually gets her nightly basaglar injection in her abdomen now. However, she has a tendency to sleep on her right, and it will sometimes fall off, or we will lose the signal for a bit (I keep track through the Follow app). She's due to change her sensor today and I'm thinking do the abdomen this time to see if that's better. Would appreciate some advice!
