Keeping your skin happy is just as important as keeping your tech working well. Here are some quick tips:
💧 Before Insertion
• Wait at least 1 hour after showering
• Make sure skin is clean, dry & cooled
• Skip creams/lotions right before inserting — they can affect adhesion
For Sensitive Skin
• Barrier wipes/sprays (like Cavilon™ or SkinPrep™) can help protect skin
• Try gentle under-patches or tapes to reduce irritation
Small tweaks can make a big difference to comfort and wear time.

It’s Mental Health Week.
Living with type 1 diabetes means more than blood glucose numbers — it’s also about managing the mental load that comes with it. 💭
We stand together to:
✨ Raise awareness of mental health
✨ Break down stigma
✨ Remind our community it’s okay to ask for help
Because caring for your mind is just as important as caring for your body. 💙
Check in with yourself, check in with a mate 💙
