Best Practices for DIY Dexcom Tapes!

Step 1:

We recommend using Kid Made or Tulip fabric markers, but you can also get really creative and get glow-in-the-dark fabric markers from Amazon!

Step 2:

Get designing!

Step 3 - really important:

Set your Dexcom tape with heat! Use your household iron to heat the tape for 30 seconds at a time on medium heat. Typically it takes 2 to 3 rounds for the tape to be completely set, but you can check to see by rubbing a wet q-tip on the patch to see if any color comes off. More ironing rounds may be necessary if you still see color with the q-tip test!

Step 4:

Show off your new, one-of-a-kind Dexcom tape! (And send us a picture, we want to see your creativity)
