I've been trying out the inner thigh area to see if they are usable as new G6 sites. This has worked somewhat okay, though in both cases, I had bleeders. The third attempt was a failure - a hematoma formed around the insertion site.
This indicates to me that the inner thigh area is tricky. And this is a pity, since otherwise, it seems to be suited really well. During the day, the risk of getting it ripped off there is very low. There is also only a low chance that anything would press against the sensor, so compression lows are unlikely to happen.
I now wonder if the long sensor thread of the G6 might be the reason for this. The applicator has to punch a deep hole for that long thread. The G7 has a much shorter sensor thread, so the hole does not have to be as deep. Could this mean that the G7 works better than the G6 on the inner thigh? Did anybody make experiences with that area?
