Can I swim or shower with my DexCom CGM?
Yes, you can swim or shower with your DexCom Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system. The DexCom CGM is water-resistant, allowing you to engage in water activities without worrying about damaging the device. It is designed to withstand brief submersion in water, such as swimming or showering. However, it is important to note that prolonged exposure to water or intense activities like diving may impact the effectiveness of the adhesive or sensor. To ensure optimal performance, you should follow specific guidelines provided by DexCom, such as taking precautions like using additional adhesive tape or covering the sensor. Remember to consult the user manual or contact DexCom customer support for detailed instructions on wearing and protecting your DexCom CGM during water-related activities.
