11. Practical tips for living with a CGM in India

Small habits make CGM life easier. Use skin-friendly adhesive patches if you work outside in heat or sweat a lot. Dress with sensors in mind: avoid tight waistbands pressing on the sensor when wearing kurtas or jeans, and place sensors where they won’t rub under dupattas during travel. For festivals, plan sensor changes around travel or fasting days so you don't miss coverage. Keep a spare sensor, plasters, and the charger power bank in your diabetes kit for long trips. Learn to read trends rather than fixate on single readings after a sweet treat — trends tell you how your body responds to real-life meals like parathas or ladoos. And finally, keep your clinic's contact number ready for questions; a quick call can help you handle calibration doubts or patch issues and save a stressful visit.
