Here's another one that she had a few weeks ago. On this one we used a "groovy patch" for a MM silhouette.

Those are really cute. Do they actually have skins for sensors or did you make them?

The top photo is just stickers on the sensor and the bottom photo (tie-dye) is a "groovy patch" that is sold for MM silhouettes.

The stickers are much cheaper to use than groovy patches. Liv just didn't do well with silhouettes and we had some left over groovy patches and came up with the idea.

Decorating the transmitter is a great idea. I'm going to do that.:)

Love them! My DD would love to decorate them (when she has them, that is!). A great thing to do together! Something "fun" about D!

Liv's had a fun day! She got her ears pierced at the Dr.'s office with numbing cream prior to piercing. She didn't feel a thing. :) Then, we got the new "gem" stickers for her MM transmitter. And, when we got home the "patriotic lightning" skin for her MM pump was waiting for her. She's all decked out. Her friends are so cute, they noticed her pump skin and called it the right name! Then, they oohed about the earrings. Then, they asked where her sensor was (we had it charging). Her friends love the decorated sensor--they think it's so cute!

Thanks for letting me share. :D

What great body art/jewelry! I love the idea. Hopefully Chase will too and will make new sensors go a little smoother!

So is it directly on the sensor or on the tape? Hailey lets her best friend marker on hers but I am betting they would love stickers :) Very cute, great idea!

It's directly on the sensor.

Technically, it's on Liv's transmitter, too.:D

We just went to the grocery store and the young cashier complimented Liv on how cute it looked. The cashier even knew what it was; she explained that her friend has diabetes and has CGM.

Cute Idea - I will have to try to come up with a boy version soon! Maybe he would like it better and not worry about someone seeing it - it might have to pirates or sports - definitely no gems or sparkles! :D

What a great idea! Anything to jazz up diabetes helps:)

Thank you for this idea - My son loved it - he now is wearing a "sported out" transmitter - with baseballs on it! It made changing the tape out a worthwhile ordeal! In fact, at a party last night - he even was brave enough to take off his shirt and run around with the sensor/transmitter on his arm!

This is why I love this board so much - we have received so many great ideas from all of you! THANKS!
