Not Just A Patch

🩵 At Not Just a Patch, we believe in doing more than just creating reliable CGM patches. We are committed to making a difference in the diabetes community by giving back, advocating for better care, and supporting those who work tirelessly to improve diabetes management. 🌿 10% of profits are donated – Every purchase helps fund diabetes-related charities, ensuring more people have access to essential care and resources. 🌿 Grants for Diabetes Educators & Clinics – We provide funding to support diabetes specialists and clinics, helping improve education and care for people living with diabetes. 🌿 We advocate for #Insulin4All – Access to insulin is a human right. We support initiatives that fight for affordability and accessibility. 🌿 Our patches are designed for the Diabetes Community, by the Diabetes Community – We understand the challenges of wearing a CGM because we live them. That’s why we create practical, skin-friendly, and stylish solutions that truly work. Choosing Not Just a Patch means securing your CGM while also supporting a community that believes in better care, better access, and a better experience for people with diabetes.

What we stand for shapes everything we do. 🌟 At Not Just a Patch, we believe that success isn’t just about what we achieve—it’s about how we achieve it. That’s why we believe values are so important because they show us how to do it. 💪 Our three core values which we live by in everything we do at Not Just a Patch are 👉 giving back, fun & perspective and commitment to listen and evolve. Our values guide every decision, every innovation, and every connection we build. They shape our culture, fuel our passion, and define the impact we make in the world.

🩵 Diabetes management isn’t just about numbers - it’s about confidence, security, and self-expression. That’s why Not Just a Patch was born 👉 to give people with diabetes a better way to protect their CGMs while embracing their individuality. Not Just a Patch founder Pete, knows the struggle of keeping a sensor secure—especially when swimming, working out, or just going about daily life. Losing a CGM isn’t just frustrating; it’s expensive and disruptive. So he set out to create something better. 💡 The result? A patch designed for real life. But this is more than just a patch, this is about making life with diabetes easier, more confident, and even a little fun. Because when you’re managing diabetes, you deserve products that truly work for you.

A CGM alarm is not a drama button. It’s information. And the most helpful adult in the room is usually the one who can stay calm, follow the plan, and ask the right question: “Do you know what your plan says to do?” For parents, caregivers, teachers, coaches, babysitters, aunties, uncles, grandparents, and every trusted grown-up in a child’s diabetes circle this one’s for you. You don’t need to carry the whole weight of diabetes. But you can carry one small piece of the load: A plan. A snack. A quiet voice. A spare patch. A call to the parent when needed. That matters more than you know. Save this carousel. Send it to the group chat. Print the plan. Check where the hypo supplies are. Keep adhesive support handy for real life: sweat, swimming, playgrounds, sleepovers, and the occasional “how did this even happen?” sensor edge. Calm helps. Preparation helps. Community helps. And no one should have to figure it out mid-alarm.

7 years of wild! When Phoenix was diagnosed, we were nervous that he would lose his fire, but instead he just keeps finding new ways to be brave, strong, and courageous. His wild has not been tamed, and a big part of that is the efforts from all the incredible people in his life and the tools we’ve found to keep him thriving. We work endlessly to ensure that he never feels restricted. Every day is a new challenge, but every bit of it has been so worth it to see his energy and his light continue shining bright. As we travel around the country and meet new people, his biggest hope is that people know he’s just a regular kiddo that loves to run, play, bike, and hike. Happy 7th Birthday to the most incredible little man I’ve ever met! 🎉🎉🎉 We love watching you thrive and grow, little man! You’re doing huge and amazing things! 💖

Real talk: when a kid with T1D is low, they may not seem like themselves. They might cry. Snap. Go quiet. Get angry. Act dramatic. Refuse help from the exact person trying to help them. Iconic timing, honestly. But here’s the thing: a low blood sugar moment is not the time for a TED Talk. First: fast carbs. Then: calm. Then: check they’re safe. The conversation can happen later, when their brain has enough glucose to actually join the meeting. Because sometimes bad behavior is really just a low blood sugar asking for help in the worst font possible. 🧃 Support first. 💬 Lecture later. ❤️ Dignity always.

All you need is peace, trust, and a patch that’s always got your back…even when it’s on your belly or arm 🤍 Find your patch at Walgreens & CVS (USA) or the link in my bio. #NotJustAPatchAir #NotJustAPatch #PatchItOn #Ready

To the parents watching the CGM at 3 a.m. We wish you rest. Not the one eye closed while still refreshing the app kind of rest. Real rest. The kind where your shoulders drop. Where every beep doesn’t send your heart into your throat. Where you don’t replay dinner, insulin, activity, growth spurts, stress, sleep, and what did we miss like detectives with no off switch. Because here’s the truth: You are not failing because you’re tired. You are not failing because the numbers are messy. You are not failing because diabetes didn’t behave tonight. You’re parenting through something most people never see: the quiet, invisible work of keeping your child safe while the rest of the house sleeps. So our wish for you is this: May the sensor stay stuck. May the alerts be boring. May the night be gentle. May you get to be parents first, not stand-in pancreases, for just a little while. And if real rest isn’t possible tonight, may you at least feel less alone in the watching. And may you remember, even at 3 a.m., even in the worry, even in the exhaustion: You are doing so much better than you think. No lecture. Just love.
