Bountiful, UT – September 17, 2019 – Skin Grip, a diabetic pre-cut adhesive tape that fits over constant glucose monitors (CGM) to help those living with type one diabetes expand their horizons, is determined to change the narrative and living constraints placed on type one diabetics.
Considering that 30-40% of diabetics wear a CGM as part of their daily routine to manage blood glucose, Skin Grip felt the need for a safer, stronger, and more aesthetically pleasing tape that would protect expensive CGM sensors and insulin pumps in any condition.
“Anyone living with type one diabetes knows that if proper care and attention isn’t pursued when monitoring the disease, it can completely control their quality of life,” said Isaac Parkinson, Founder and Owner of Skin Grip. “We didn’t think it was fair for type one diabetics to miss out on participating in their favorite activities. That’s what inspired us to create Skin Grip.”
Right now, approximately 9.4% of the U.S. population, or around 30 million Americans, live with type one diabetes. It’s also worth mentioning that approximately 1.25 million American children live with the condition as well. This significant portion of the population is required to take insulin and monitor blood sugar levels throughout the day, or else risk serious hospitalization, or worse.
Living with diabetes is not cheap. Insulin prices are constantly on the rise and prices of CGM sensors are tough to swallow. Skin Grip understood this problem and made a tape that would allow users to get the most out of their sensors. With ergonomic gripping technology, Skin Grip won’t fall off or become loose before the sensor has lived its full life. That way, users can swim, exercise, shower, or anything else they want to do without worrying about their expensive devices and sensors being wasted or damaged.
“With the technology available at our fingertips today, there’s no need for type one diabetics to suffer silently,” said Parkinson. “We’ve created an adhesive tape that is not only simple, but also durable, so diabetics everywhere can live life to the fullest without all the stresses of their disease.”
To use Skin Grip, you simply apply the patch over the CGM or insulin pump, secure it on the skin, and then you’re ready to live fearlessly.
