STOP THE PEELING

-

You can patch the adhesive pads of peeling sensors and infusion sets with body glue or apply an over-bandage before the site starts to peel, says Scheiner. Traditiona­l clearplast­ic tape, such as Tegaderm, can be cut to fit around your CGM or infusion site. But Oerum prefers fabric patches because they’re breathable and less likely to come off with sweat. Water-resistant options with custom shapes and precut holes include Skin Grip, GrifGrips, Expression­Med and Pump Peelz.
