How to Keep Your Dexcom G6 Patch in Place in Any Condition
Staying active with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) like the Dexcom G6 is crucial for managing diabetes effectively. However, one common annoyance many face is keeping the sensor securely attached, especially during workouts, showers, or daily adventures. Fear not! Here are some tips to ensure your sensor stays put, no matter where life takes you.
Use the Right Diabetic Tape Adhesive Patches
Finding the right adhesive patches is key to your sensor's longevity. High-quality diabetic tape adhesive patches are designed to withstand sweat, water, and movement. Whether you're hitting the gym or simply going about your daily routine, these patches provide the necessary grip to keep your sensor in place.

Choose CGM Overpatches Wisely
Not all overpatches are created equal. The right overpatch can enhance the longevity and reliability of your sensor. Opt for breathable yet strong materials that won't irritate the skin. At Pump Peelz, you can find a fantastic selection of solid color patches, like the Solid Color Orange Dexcom G7 and Stelo Patch Tape, designed specifically with durability and comfort in mind.
Pro Tips for Applying Your Patch
- Clean the Skin Thoroughly: Make sure the area is clean and dry before applying your patch.
- Avoid Lotions or Oily Products: They can interfere with adhesive properties.
- Press Firmly After Application: Give it a good press to ensure maximum adhesion.
- Avoid Excessive Stretching: This can lead to premature peeling.
By following these steps and selecting the right products, you can ensure your Dexcom G6 stays secure throughout life's ups and downs.
