New Dexcom tip on placement
So I already let you know that I think upper arm placement is best...
A new piece of data has emerged from my experimentation that suggest that placement should be tweaked slightly; instead of pointing the sensor straight down, point it a 30-to-45-degree angle. Apparently this solves much of the receding interstitial fluid problem during sleep periods.
Not sure why, but try it out.

Isn't the Dexcom inserter already at an angle?
And can you please let me know where on the arm you placed it? Did you do it yourself?
Thanks
Yes, the inserter is at an angle. I am referring to the positioning of the sensor on the arm - instead of placing so that it points straight down the arm, I am proposing a placement where the sensor is at a 30-45 degree angle to the arm.
This post discusses more of what I have learned about arm placement.
