Frequently Asked Questions

Using a patch for your sensor is an improvement over the standard adhesive that sensors come with.

The improvement in terms of lifetime duration varies from the type of activities you are doing, to whether the patch was applied correctly. In normal use conditions, your sensor will be able to reach its entire recommended lifetime.

Furthermore, we focus on the concept of changeability. One of our unique features is the “non-stick” section, meaning that the middle part of the patch will not stick to the actual sensor. This means you will be able to easily change the patches as often as you like to suit your activity or your fashion choices.

You can change the currency in the top right of the scene (next to the shopping cart icon). You can change the currency to one of the following: USD, AUD, GBP, EUR, CAD.

The simple answer is yes. Our patches waterproof your devices, and you will not need to worry about your CGM sensor when swimming. In fact, they are designed by a T1D ocean swimmer to protect the CGM while swimming.

We all have different skin and lifestyles, so we have tried and tested the best products and techniques to maximize the patch adhesion. For the greatest bond follow the following steps;
1. Remove hair around the device site.
2. Remove oils from skin using SkinGlee
3. Increase tackiness of the site with SkinGlu
4. Apply the patch designed for your device
5. Lightly massage, and let the patch bond to the skin for an hour before an activity/showering

Our patches are hypoallergenic, water, and sweat-proof that last up to 7 to 14 days. One of the advantages of NJaP is that we have an optional non-stick section in the center which means that your sensor gets full protection but the patch does not have to stick to it directly. The glue is a medical-grade hypoallergenic acrylic adhesive with an approximately 2.9% reaction rate.

It’s dependent upon the individual’s lifestyle. That’s why we have designed the non-stick back section so the patch doesn’t stick to the device. This gives you the flexibility to change the patch if the edges start to lift up without compromising your active device. They’ll last for 2 weeks if applied correctly.

The Original patches are made of cotton and spandex and AIR patches are made from non-woven microfiber, similar to many types of normal clothing. There’s never been any report of issues due to covering the sensors. If any issues arise after submerging in water, just allow the moisture to dissipate, and the sensor will operate as normal.

There are 20 patches in the pack unless otherwise specified. This equates to approximately $1.50 per week.

Originally designed for people who live with diabetes and wear devices, we realize that these patches can be used by anyone wearing a CGM sensor or device they wish to secure.

No need to leave off. Our patches are designed to be breathable with medical-quality hypoallergenic adhesive to minimize any skin irritation. CGM sensor site rotation is sufficient enough for your skin to remain healthy.

A patch will stick as long as you need or as long as you allow. The average CGM sensor lasts up to 2 weeks. If you follow instructions and ensure the patches bond uninterrupted,the patches will stay as long as you need.  The non-stick section allows you to change them when the edges start to lift up to have nice patches for the duration of each sensor.

Not Just a Patch patches are designed to support people wearing Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) sensors and associated devices such as MiaoMiao and pumps such as Omnipod.
