Living with diabetes doesn't mean you have to slow down. Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) like the Dexcom G6 and G7 help you keep track of your blood sugar levels in real time, giving you the freedom to live your life to the fullest. Here, we’ll share the benefits of using CGMs and some friendly tips on how to keep them securely in place with SKIN GRIP patches.
Why CGMs Are a Game Changer
- Real-Time Updates: CGMs give you up-to-the-minute data on your glucose levels, helping you make smarter choices about your diet, exercise, and insulin.
- Better Control: With continuous monitoring, you can manage your blood sugar levels more effectively, reducing the risk of unexpected highs and lows.
- Convenience: Say goodbye to constant finger pricks! CGMs provide a less invasive way to monitor your glucose levels.
- Peace of Mind: Customizable alerts notify you of high or low glucose levels, so you can take action right away.
Keep Your CGM Secure with SKIN GRIP
One challenge with CGMs is making sure they stay put, especially if you lead an active lifestyle. That’s where SKIN GRIP patches come in:
- Prep Your Skin: Clean the area with soap and water before applying your CGM. Let it dry completely and use an adhesive barrier wipe like Skin Tac for extra hold.
- Apply the Patch: Once your CGM is in place, cover it with a SKIN GRIP patch. These patches are waterproof and sweat-resistant, so they stay put no matter what.
- Check and Replace: Keep an eye on your patch and replace it if it starts to peel. SKIN GRIP patches are durable, but they may need a change after a few days or after lots of water exposure.
With SKIN GRIP patches, you can enjoy the freedom and confidence that comes with reliable, secure glucose monitoring. Live your life, stay active, and keep your CGM in place effortlessly!
