Wanted to share a cool little gadget I found on Amazon to help change overtape easier on G6 sensors. Put the senor/transmitter on like usual. Then you put this little plastic shield on (it's not sticky...it just sits on top). Then you put the overtape on. Samuel went his usual 5 days before the edges start lifting, but the overtape peeled right off and the sensor tape looked perfect underneath.
The 1st time we see used the free, clear overtape provided by Dexcom. It's barely bigger then the shield, but it still stayed on for 5 days. (Samuel isn't an athletic kid though!) He didn't like seeing the shield through the tape, so next time we used a nude patch which covers it better too.
