Frequently Asked Questions
Are Not Just a Patch water-proof?
The simple answer is yes. Our patches waterproof your devices, and you will not need to worry about your CGM sensor when swimming. In fact, they are designed by a T1D ocean swimmer to protect the CGM while swimming.
What are the compatible CGM sensors?
Our patches are compatible with Freestyle Libre, Dexcom G6, Dexcom G4-G5, MiaoMiao 1&2, and Medtronic sensors. Please note that one patch type is compatible with multiple devices. Visit the specific device category to choose the right patch for your sensor.

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.
