Yes, your sensor is waterproof up to 8 feet, so you can wear it while swimming or in a hot tub. However, there are a few important considerations:
1. Temperature Guidelines
Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) operate best between 50°F and 113°F (10°C to 45°C).
Exposing the sensor to temperatures outside this range—such as in saunas, hot tubs, hot yoga, or ice baths—may cause temporary sensor errors.
If this happens, your sensor will typically recover on its own once your body returns to a normal temperature range.
2. Glucose Reading Variations
Extreme temperatures can affect your body temperature and glucose metabolism, which may cause unusual glucose readings during or shortly after exposure.
This doesn't mean the sensor is malfunctioning—it’s your body’s natural response to heat or cold.
3. Swimming and Bathing
Normal swimming, showering, and bathing are generally fine and do not impact sensor function, as long as you're within the recommended temperature range and the sensor is well-secured.
