Application tip 🌟

When applying your Type Strong patch to your CGM, keep the round backing ON!
This will make sure the patch doesn't stick to your device itself, just your skin, making it easier to replace your patch while keeping the same CGM on. ⚡️

Extended Infusion Set Continuous Glucose Monitoring is an advanced way for people living with diabetes to check glucose levels in real-time or monitor sugar levels over a period of time.
