In the LinX CGM app, you should choose the glucose measurement unit that matches your region’s standard. For example, the United States uses milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), while the UAE and many other countries use millimoles per liter (mmol/L). When you log into the app, it will prompt you to select your preferred unit during setup, ensuring your readings are displayed in the correct format for your area. Other countries may use different units, so be sure to choose the one appropriate for your location.

Wash the area with soap and water, then dry it thoroughly. Disinfect the skin using pure medical alcohol, avoiding products such as perfumes or hand sanitizers. Allow the skin to air dry completely before applying the sensor.

Make sure the skin is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before applying the sensor. The LinX CGM sensor can be placed either on the back of the upper arm or on the abdomen, with no difference in performance between the two areas. However, the back of the upper arm is generally preferred for better comfort. If the adhesive does not stick properly, check for the presence of oil, dust, or other impurities on the skin. If the issue continues, contact customer support for assistance.

After applying the sensor, open the app, tap the pairing icon, and choose the sensor’s serial number from the list of available devices. Once connected, the system will begin a warm-up period, and your glucose readings will appear after 60 minutes.

Cleaning eliminates dirt, oils, and residues to help the adhesive stick effectively, while disinfecting destroys bacteria to reduce the risk of infection. Both steps are essential — cleaning ensures proper adhesion, and disinfecting safeguards against germs.
