What are these patches?
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.
How long does the patch last?
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.

Is this only for people with diabetes?
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.
How many patches in a pack?
There are 20 patches in the pack unless otherwise specified. This equates to approximately $1.50 per week.

How much does Not Just a Patch improve the sensor’s lifetime?
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.
What materials are used in making Not Just a Patch?
Our Original patches are made from 96% cotton and 4% spandex, our new AIR patch range is made of a unique non-woven microfiber material that feels great and sticks like a dream, offering great elasticity and allowing the skin to breathe. Our medical-quality hypoallergenic adhesive ensures that our patches will be kind to your skin.
