Insulin Life 25 Pack Dexcom Adhesive Patch for G4 G5 G6 CGM - Waterproof Patches
Description
- PATCHES THAT STICK - While many other patches come off in a day, curl up, or don’t stand up to sweat and water, Insulin Life patches have a protective design that lasts. They were developed by parents of a Type 1 three year old. We did our homework to find the best tape on the market to handle all of your activities and to stay on the longest without irritating your skin.
- THOUGHTFULLY CUT DESIGNS - We found that many of the other Dexcom transmitter patches on the market that are cut into cute shapes used designs that produced small parts which would quickly curl. Our shapes are thoughtfully designed to be fun and attractive, but are less likely to curl up due to small pieces. The center hole is the perfect size to protect your Dexcom.
- PRICED WITH FAMILIES IN MIND - Most reasonable priced continuous glucose monitor patches on the market use inferior quality tape. Insulin Life products do not cut corners. We know that diabetes is a financial burden on your family and ours. We make products that are the highest possible quality at the best possible price.
- HYPOALLERGENIC - Our toddler was diagnosed at 2.5 years old. We know all about the dreaded Dexcom rash all too well. Our strong, sticky patches are the best on the market for reducing rashes in our toddler. We have tested them in the heat, while swimming, on a boat, for all of her activities...she’s rash free every time. Be sure to apply the patch to clean, oil free skin. Then, allow the patch to adhere for at least 3 hours before getting it wet. This will maximize the length of the product.
- FAMILY FIRST GUARANTEE - We know firsthand the added work and stress that Type 1 management adds to your life. Our company stands by our products. If you find that these patches aren’t right for you, just let us know and we will happily provide a full refund.
For a long lasting patch, please follow the steps below :1) Make sure the skin is free of lotions, perfumes and creams. Clean skin thoroughly with alcohol swab or warm water. Allow to dry.2) Once sensor is in place, remove the backing and place your fun patch over the Dexcom.3) Please do not get the patch wet for 3 hours after application so it can fully adhere to skin.Don't waste more time and money on wasted patches and CGM's!

Wow! These are awesome. My son was diagnosed 1 month ago with T1D. He is a varsity football player and has practice 6 days a week. I ordered others trying to help prolong the dexcom use. The others barely lasted 1 practice. My son was running during practice and the other product came loose and his dexcom was flapping in the wind only being held on by the flexible needle. I read the review and decided on this product because it is made and marketed by a T1D family. I am so glad I did. If you are an athlete or even if your not, you NEED this product. We are so thankful we found this product. THANK YOU from a dad of a new T1D athlete!

Adhesive patch not worth the money!
I use a Dexcom G6 and get showers not tub baths thinking it would be better to not have the adhesive submerged in water for a length of time. BUT NO, I don't think it matters, I apply the adhesive patch, wait hours before getting it wet, but after 1 shower and avoiding taking the soapy cloth over the patch it still starts to peel away! I am completely disappointed with the product. Even the edges where you need to touch it to apply don't adhere once you have just barely touched it. I had no lotion or oil on my hands nor my skin. I would not waste my money on this product nor recommend it for purchase. Also the Dexcom stays attached for 10 days at a time but the patches only last a few days at most, then need replaced, so while becoming looser n looser as you shower, that could then cause you to accidentally pull the Dexcom off before your 10 days are up, especially when trying to replace a patch. That's bad because insurances aren't going to replace them early! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT, save your money!!

Okay patches but not for me
These were bought to go over my pump infusion spot and if I needed extra backing for my continuous glucose sensor. The hole in this patch is too long to use for my infusion sets. The width would work but I would have to go over my spot twice to get good coverage. I buy extra patches because I am rough on my pump and it ends up dropping or sliding off my belt and it ends up pulling my site out if I don't keep something stronger on it. The adhesive also seems to have a short life because after 3 days (on my sensor) it is pulling up off my skin and I then have to try to tape it down again but it usually ends up pulling off anyway.

It definitely extends the life of the sensor. One patch lasts me just under a week, with daily showers and every couple days hot tub use. It did not leave a rash when I used it on the back of my arm. I've tried in on my stomach and my shoulderblade and it leaves a rash there.

Great CGM life extender
extends the life of my CGM by at least 4-5 days. I put this on once my dexcom sticker starts to peel... and it gives me a bit more time to enjoy my CGM before starting another one. It gets a little itchy at the end of it's life, but that could be just my sensitive skin. Will purchase again. Thanks!

Just ok
After just a few days they begin to lift and i use an adhesive on my skin and followed all the instructions. They're just ok in my opinion.

Thank God for these. They work perfectly. My eleven-year-old daughter is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and is very active and these help tremendously.

Truly waterproof
Pleased with this product. I like that it can be removed easily and doesn't stick to the Dex sensor backing in the event I want to extend the sensor.
