  •  FOR THOSE ALLERGIC TO SENSOR ADHESIVES

    😌  Prevents Allergic Reactions: Creates a thin non-adhesive layer between your sensor and skin so that you have no more allergic outbreaks or itchy skin.

    ♻️ Reusable: Use the same Skin Defender again and again on each new sensor application.

    🥷 Thin + Discreet: So thin you won't even know it is there. Plus it stays hidden under your device. 

     

    How to Use

    • Step 1: Prep skin. Be sure it is clean and dry.
    • Step 2: Apply a medical grade liquid adhesive, such as Skin Tac, onto skin and wait 30 seconds to dry.
    • Step 3: Remove adhesive backing from infusion set.
    • Step 4: Line up Skin Defender with infusion set, textured side facing the cannula, and press it to the cannula when center hole is lined up.
    • Step 5: Apply infusion set to prepared site on skin.
    • Step 6: Place Skin Grip patch over infusion set.
     

    *Although our testers reported greatly reduced and even eliminated irritation, this is an improvised solution and not medically approved; we offer no guarantees.

    *These patches are reusable and can be removed with adhesive remover, washed with soap and water, and used again.

  • YOU DESERVE TRANSPARENCY

    Most companies in the diabetes industry are anything but transparent. Being able to afford the supplies you need to survive is not optional.

    You deserve better.

    We've decided to take a stand. To be transparent and challenge other companies to do the same.

    We exist to serve YOU.

    Why do we charge $24.99? It's simple. In order to keep the lights on and expanding our brand worldwide we have to pay for things like hiring team members, office supplies, software, advertising, etc. It takes a lot of people, time, and money to fulfill our vision of helping millions of individuals live fearlessly with diabetes.

  • Why Use an Adhesive Patch?

    1. Save Money - Sensors are expensive. Even if you have insurance, your insurance provider is rarely happy when you need sensor replacements. Using Dexcom G6 patches allow you to save a lot of money.

    2. Stress Less - When you have a sensor come loose you get stressed. You no longer are able to accurately manage your blood sugar levels. You have to resort to finger pricks. This is stressful. With a Dexcom G6 adhesive patch these moments will no longer happen. Your G6 sensors will stay secured no matter what you are doing.

    3. Do What You Love - How many times have you not participated in an activity because you were worried about your Dexcom sensor getting wet or roughed up? With an adhesive patch you can do what you love with peace of mind. Your sensor isn't going anywhere.

FAQS
