THE OVERPATCH SUPPLIED BY DEXCOM IS A PIECE OF JUNK, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ONE PERSON TO PUT IT ON. IT IS SO FLIMSY IT FOLDS UP ON ITSELF, YOU CANNOT PEEL IT APART BECAUSE IT STRETCHES OUT OF SHAPE. THEY DO NOT EVEN HAVE A WAY TO GET EXTRA OVERPATCH. EVERY TIME I COMPLAIN ABOUT IT TO DEXCOM, THE ANSWER IS WE SUPPLY AN OVERPATCH WITH EACH SENSOR.
