Not just a Patch's products are developed by Pete. Pete has type 1 diabetes and during his daily activities he experienced his CGM (Freestyle Libre) coming loose. The thought that his sensor might come loose constantly remained in the back of his mind. Eventually, Pete sat down to think about a solution to avoid losing my sensors and to reduce the anxiety and expense of a replacement.

Pete started making patches to support my CGM sensor, and soon this idea expanded into a bigger one: to make purpose-built patches for others like you. I tested and analyzed different designs, did extensive market testing and the result is Not Just a Patch!

A key design improvement is the “non-stick” back section of the patch. The middle backing section of the NJaP patch doesn’t stick to the actual sensor (only to your skin), allowing you to change the patch as often as you like, without pulling off your sensor. This feature allows complete coverage of the device, meaning that your CGM sensor is always protected, giving you more confidence that your device is staying stuck on your skin.
