Skin Glu

I use a dexcom G6, and for some times I've been having problems getting them to stay on for the full 10 days. I've tried a bunch of different patches, I always shave and thoroughly dry before insertion, but it doesn't seem to matter, they never last the full 10 days. In desperation I tried this. It's not exactly a sophisticated product, basically it just puts an additional thin layer of glue between your skin and the dexcom and any patches you apply afterwards. You know what though, it really does help! I am getting extra days because of this, and that translates to a lot of $$ and less headaches.

Works great, helps with libre 3 sensor to stay on.

If you are new to diabetes, these are something you really need. It helps keep my sensor on the full 15 days & even help keep my Omnipod 5 insulin pump on too ☺️

I'd been having issues with my CGM staying attached recently and polled my social media for recommendations. 3 solutions bubbled to the top of the list: Mastisol, SkinTac, and Skin Glu. Now, before we get started I'll just say I know to not apply the adhesive, cgm, and patch just after a shower. I know to wash my application area (rear of my upper arm in these cases) thoroughly. I know to prep the area with an alcohol wipe and let it dry. I know not to immediately take a shower after applying them and I know to avoid sweat and dirt for at least the first few hours after application. Of the three main recommendations I received, the Skin Glu has been the worst solution. It just doesn't stick. The issue appears to be consistency and water. Two of the first three wipes I tried left no tacky residue whatsoever and the patch/CGM became detached after my first shower. It was almost like the adhesive had never been applied to the wipe at all. The third one DID leave a tacky residue but still my Skin Grip patch on top of my CGM peeled up on the third day instead of the next morning like it did with the first 2 attempts, let alone lasting the 2 weeks needed for my CGM. Water seems to really do a number on the adhesive which is great if you never plan on showering but for a majority of us, a water soluble adhesive is just not going to work. By comparison Skin Tac is incredible if somewhat messy. The adhesive is hard to remove from areas you didn't intend it to be and have found my arm sticking to my bed sheets in the morning or adhesive on my fingers several times. My number 1 solution has been Mastisol though, mostly because it's as effective as Skin Tac with an easy to apply precision bottle that I use somewhat like a roll-on.

I got this for my sister who has a major tough time keeping her sensor/cover patch on. I applied glu as directed before her night shift and she called within the hour telling me her sensor and cover patch has fell off. To say we both sadly disappointed is an overstatement. We were so hoping this would work. Now I have a full box of glu wipes and no idea what to do with them?

It’s exactly what I wanted.

Works great, but wish the price was just a little cheaper.

These are fabulous for glucose monitors. We were using a different brand and he started blistering. Hes been using these for years, no blisters.

Allow your skin to attach to patches or tape and to be removed painlessly. Brilliant.

You can feel the glu but it doesn’t work properly as advertised Not worthy

Regularly use these for my OP5 however very pricey for what they are. Shame really as they are brilliant to help keep over patches on or in place. Quick drying time, durable and easy to use
