Why Freedom and Flexibility Matter

Before we get into the how-to, let’s talk about why freedom and flexibility are so important for diabetics:

CGM sensor patches make both of these possible by keeping your sensor secure and your glucose monitoring seamless. Here’s how. 👇

1. Prep Your Skin

  • Clean It Up: Use an alcohol wipe to remove oils, sweat, and dirt before applying your patch.

  • Shave the Spot: If you’re hairy, shave the area to ensure the adhesive sticks directly to your skin.

  • Dry It Out: Let the area air dry completely before applying your patch.

2. Use Adhesive Enhancers

  • Skin Tac Wipes: These create a super-sticky surface for your patch to cling to.

  • Overlay Patches: Add an extra layer of protection with an overlay patch.

3. Stay Cool

  • Cooling Sprays: Use a cooling spray to keep your skin dry and cool during intense heat.

  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Keep your sensor out of direct sunlight to prevent overheating.

4. Check Regularly

  • Monitor Your Patch: Give your patch a quick check throughout the day to make sure it’s still secure.

  • Carry Backup Supplies: Always have extra patches and adhesive wipes on hand, just in case.
