Books and Coffee CGM Patches, Dexcom G7, and similar items

Avoid items with skin conditioners such as Dove Soap, body washes, laundry detergents, and perfumes, which can leave an oily residue. Wait approximately 30 minutes after showering and applying lotion to put the patch on. If you have oily skin, try an exfoliator. Make sure the area where you will be placing your patch is completely dry. You may want to consider using a product like Skin-Tac or an IV wipe across the entire area where you will be applying the patch. This can help with the adhesion of the patch. These items can be found on Amazon. Remove the center backing Apply the tape over your device while holding on to the top and bottom tape. Once the adhesive patch is placed correctly, remove the remaining paper and smooth the patch against your skin. If you experience other issues, please contact us. I have had diabetes for over 19 years. I have started making my own Dexcom patches because I wanted to express myself with my patches and make them more my style. Feel free to contact me for your own unique style ideas. The patches are made from SuperSkin tape with 4 way stretch and made to last for multi-day wear. These patches should last up to the 10 day wear of the Dexcom G7. Results will vary depending on activity level and wear level. For best results use Skin Tac"H" Adhesive Barrier Prep Wipe when applying the patch. For removal use JJ CARE Adhesive Remover Wipes
