Not Just a Patch's diabetes patches were developed to support those who lead an active lifestyle and need a sensor system that can keep up with their busy life. As a Type 1 Diabetic himself, Pete, the founder of Not Just a Patch discovered that daily activities like yoga and even sleeping became a challenge when they became centered around a diabetes patch.
The purpose-built patches shared by the brand are design-forward, interchangeable, colorful and confidence-boosting. Additionally, they are water-resistant and have an elastic quality to them that allows them to move like skin and muscle.
The patches support different diabetes devices but were specifically created to have a non-stick center to avoid ruining the expensive devices when changing out one patch for another.
