I'm not a shill. But I bought this adhesive patch from Amazon, and it has worked great:

Not only am I able to shower with it on, but get in my pool twice, both times with the chlorine levels very high (my pool insists on being green, despite my attempts to cure).


It is a vastly superior patch than what comes with the Dexcom G7. Or, with the first patch I mentioned above.


This is a very serious matter. If your Dexcom device comes loose, then that it the end of it's life, and you must replace it. I get my Dexcom G7 devices from a company that accepts Medicare, but won't mail you prescription early (it is a three month prescription, or, nine Dexcom devices).



My warning: if you go for Dexcom, get the best adhesive patches you can.
This is what I have used in the past, just FYI. They are also great bandages for cuts. They last about 6 to 7 days, you can swim, shower etc.
