CGM Sensor
A CGM sensor is visibly worn on the arm day and night, often for more than two weeks at a time. This is where everything that goes on and around the sensor comes together, along with what is gentle on the skin underneath: stickers, tapes, elastic bands, protective caps and applicators for every common CGM system. Diabetes sensor jewelry turns the glucose sensor into something you’ll want to show off rather than hide.
Accessories by your CGM system
The tiles above take you directly to your device. Each device page features the appropriate sizes and cutouts, since CGM sensors differ in diameter and shape. In addition to tapes and stickers, most systems also offer a CGM armband as a textile alternative to adhesive:
- Dexcom G7 with tapes, sensor stickers, applicator, armband and cases for the reader.
- Abbott Freestyle Libre 3 with border tapes, stickers, protective cap and applicator.
- Dexcom G6 with tapes, transmitter stickers and band with holder.
- Freestyle Libre 1 and 2 with sensor stickers, ring tapes and reader cases.
- Medtronic Enlite and Guardian with tapes, stickers and armband.
- Accu-Chek SmartGuide for the newer Accu-Chek CGM.
- Eversense with an elastic band for the transmitter.
Designs across all sensors
Are you looking for the design first and the size afterward? All designs are available under Sticker and Tapes. Stickers are made from vinyl film, waterproof and scratch-resistant. Tapes are made from flexible textile material, are hypoallergenic, waterproof and breathable.
Skin, adhesion and removal
For the area around the adhesive site, there is skin protection and adhesive remover, as well as the TapeCover protective cap as an additional layer over the applied tape and the TapeGuard applicator, which helps a border tape sit centered even when applied with one hand. If you want to try things out first, you’ll find trial sets with a mixed selection.
For kids
Cheerful designs bring color to everyday life with diabetes: stickers and tapes give kids the opportunity to add color to their diabetes and choose their own design, so they can go through life feeling proud and carefree with their glucose monitoring systems. Find more at Diabeteskids.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy a CGM sensor here? No. CGM sensors and their costs are handled through pharmacies, specialist retailers or the manufacturer, and we also do not sell accessories for a medical device as defined by the Medical Devices Regulation. We offer accessories for your CGM sensor: stickers, tapes, bands and protective caps.
Which sensors are accessories available for here? Dexcom G6 and G7, Freestyle Libre 1, 2 and 3, Medtronic Enlite and Guardian, Accu-Chek SmartGuide and Eversense. Choose your device from the tiles above.
What are stickers and tapes made of? Stickers are made from vinyl film, waterproof, scratch-resistant and removable without residue. Tapes are made from flexible textile material with sensitive acrylic adhesive, zinc-free and latex-free, without the additive IBOA.
Do the tapes hold my sensor securely? No. According to their manufacturers, glucose sensors, catheters and patch pumps do not need additional fixation. Our tapes are decorative and not fixation patches: they give the device a design, not extra hold.
Will the adhesive irritate my skin? The material is gentle on the skin and hypoallergenic. For sensitive skin, a barrier film from skin protection can help; an adhesive remover helps with removal.
