Hi Mike. I just wipe with alcohol then use a product called Cavilon. It is a sting barrier as the pod adheisive bothers. Cavilon dries almost as fast as the alcohol. Then the pod then the Kenisio tape. And yes it stays on for all three days and it is water proof. One thing you might try is folding a small edge of the pod adhesive patch over on to itself it makes removal much easier. At least for me. As for where to purchase on line is the only place I have ever bought the stuff. Both products. At the bottom of my page I have a picture of the things I use. Hopes the info is a help.
Michael,
Do you use a product like skin tac, then place pod on site, then wrap with the tape and it stays on for the 3 days? Can I order the kenisio tape online?
Thanks for the info, I think Spencer would like this better, not as bulky & "noticeable", he isn't "embarassed" by being diabetic, just hates to be asked, What is that? Your system would simply look like a bandage.
Thanks,
Mike
