Insulin Life 25 Pack Dexcom Adhesive Patch for G4 G5 G6 CGM - Waterproof Patches

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!

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!!

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.

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!

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.

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.
