Top Tips for Using Long-lasting Adhesive Overpatches with Dexcom G6

Hey there, Dexcom G6 users! If you're rocking these CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) systems, you're probably on the lookout for the best ways to keep your sensors in place with style and reliability. That's where diabetic tape adhesive patches come into play. Not only do they keep your sensor secured, but they also add a little bit of flair to your daily routine.

Today, we're sharing some top tips on how to make the most out of long-lasting adhesive overpatches with Dexcom G6.

1. Choose the Right Patches

Not all CGM adhesive patches are created equal. At Pump Peelz, we have a variety of options designed specifically for the Dexcom series. While this post is all about the G6, it's worth noting that we also carry a fantastic line for the Dexcom G7 and more.

2. Proper Application is Key

To maximize the longevity of your CGM overpatches:

• Clean Your Skin: Before applying, clean your skin with soap and water, and dry thoroughly. Avoid any lotions or oils that might affect adhesiveness.
• Plan the Placement: Think about clothing and high-movement areas before sticking your patch. The less friction it faces, the longer it lasts.
• Avoid Stretching: When placing the patch, ensure it sits naturally over your skin without stretch. This prevents premature lifting.

3. Spice Up Your Style

Why settle for plain when you can flaunt colors and patterns? We offer vibrant styles like the Wild Current Dexcom G7 and Stelo Patch Tape and the playful Green Fur Dexcom G7 and Stelo Patch Tape. These are sure to make your CGM far from ordinary.

4. Monitor Patch Longevity

Regularly inspect your patch to ensure it's doing its job. If you notice any signs of peeling or if it gets dirty, swap it out for a fresh one. Keeping an eye on its condition helps maintain sensor integrity and accuracy.

5. Be Prepared with Extra Patches

Accidents happen! Whether it's through an unexpected pull or wear and tear, always have a few extras on hand. Our Pod Patch Tape Packs are great to ensure you never run out when you need them most.

In conclusion, using the right CGM overpatches is all about combining functionality with fashion. For more details on our products and to find your perfect adhesive patches, visit Pump Peelz. Keep your Dexcom sensors secure and stylish—after all, managing diabetes doesn't have to be dull!
