BJJ and CGM (continuous glucose monitor)

[David S.]

Does anyone have experience with BJJ while wearing a CGM (continuous glucose monitor)?

I’m considering running a CGM (for science) and the only possible problem I see is it getting removed or damaged while training.

Thoughts?

I train with a fella who is diabetic and wears one on his triceps area. I recall his coming out a few times and him being frustrated. But he said it wasn’t that big of a deal. He said he was going to experiment with different areas. He got busy and hasn’t been at the gym in a while.

Which one are you getting? How without a prescription? I’m interested in the idea also.

I’m not aware of any. A student or training partner may have had one, but it was never mentioned or an issue so I can’t know for sure

Another RN I worked with had one and it constantly got pulled off during restraints. He tried different spots but nothing seemed to work.

I think you'd have to duct tape it on.
