+### Do not get sunscreen on your Pods
+
+Remember- though your skin may appreciate sunscreen, your CGM and Pods do NOT and the plastic can crack. Take precautions to avoid getting sunscreen on them when you’re enjoying time in the sun this summer!
+
+### Dexcom - try this before deleting your app
+
+If you get a Dexcom message saying "App stopped working" that tells you to delete and reinstall the Dexcom app - try this first.
+
+We recommend swiping the app closed and reopening! You can also try toggling Bluetooth off and then on or rebooting your phone. This often restores it to normal use and saves you a lot of headache- especially if you’re using G7 and are on a trip outside of your home country! See [Dexcom G7 Geofencing](#dexcom-g7-geofencing).
