Shave

I just received my Guardian continuous glucoses monitor. That insertion needle looks really really big. I know the protective covering magnifies the size of the needle, but it still looks big. I have a week to wait for the Diabetic Educator to help me sort through the application process. I have read the user guide, twice. I set up the monitor. One question remains. Should I shave the sensor area, or do I put on the tape and let it rip out the hair when I remove it. I hate to say it, but I am a hairy guy. No hair on my head, but plenty below my eyes. I could trim the hair. I could shave it. I could do nothing. I sent a e-mail off to Medtronic. This seems to be one area they either forgot or avoided in their literature. Nice pictures of women, no hair on there stomaches. I have a stomach with lots of real estate and it is covered with hair. You got to love my wife for putting up with it. I swim sometimes for exercise. Shaving could make me look even funnier then I already do, when I walk out to the pool in my over sized swim trunks, no speedo, thank you very much. A bald patch here and there on the belly. It might ensure that I get a lane all to myself. Ha.
While I wait for a response, I have time to look at that large insertion needle and think about what design I would like to shave across my midsection.
