Wordless Wednesday: Sticks and stones
It sticks (usually) without a problem, but I can never seem to get the IV3000 properly positioned so it covers the entire transmitter and sensor. What’s the secret?

I can’t believe people used to sharpen their reusable syringes with these things.

I use Tegaderm tape and usually have the same problem. I try to get it all the way over my MM CGM but I usually have one side that doesn’t get it all so I add another piece of tape which usually does the trick.

I’ve got some supplemental Opsite Flexifix on there right now, but in general I don’t like it as much as IV3k

Is that sharpener in your home?

Ha! No, but you can buy one from Australia if you click the link in the image. (Or if you search Google, you’ll find sites for heroin junkies — not suggested).

Very very careful with your tape placement. You can do it!
Though I hate those rare occasions when the tape starts to peel and takes the sensor with it. Ugh!

I’ve tried lining up the seam in the IV3000 tape with the joint between the sensor and transmitter – no luck. Curved side on the sensor-side or transmitter side – haven’t figured that out either. There’s got to be some way to use those points for reference and get it right, I just haven’t been able to figure it out! (Using the back of my arm doesn’t make it any easier!)
