I’m glad you mentioned putting the patch on the skin that folds frequently. My brother has diabetes and wants to try out some patches since he hasn’t before. He should look for ones that won’t easily come off since he lives an active lifestyle. https://theskingrip.com/products/dexcom-g6-adhesive-patch-tan-pack-of-20
