My husband decided to try wearing a Dexcom. So I applied Skin Tac to the sensor and the Dexcom overpatch with Skin Tac. Within 2 days it was coming off, half hanging already. I managed to save it by applying more Skin Tac every couple of days. Skin Tac and the overpatch with Skin Tac has worked on me with virtually no issues except maybe a minor touch up with 1-2 times in the over 30 days I sometimes wear them. Swimming in the ocean for hours etc. The only difference is he sweats a lot doing yard work almost daily besides swimming.
I have a few other patches I had gotten to try, so first I tried putting a patch from ADS that they supply called RightCare CGM Patch with KTTAPRPRO Extreme. It stayed beautifully on him with no Skin Tac used. Yet when I had tried it, with and without Skin Tac, it fell off within days on me. I did test it on his abdomen and he wore the sensor on his arm so we’ll see if that makes a difference.
But here is a list of helps.
