How to Reduce CGM Data Gaps: A Practical Sensor Retention Playbook

Why retention matters for glucose decisions

Every premature sensor loss creates blind spots in your data. Better retention means more continuity and better day-to-day decision quality.

Retention playbook

  1. Start with clean, dry skin and proper placement.
  2. Use a precision-fit overpatch from day one.
  3. Minimize repeated friction from clothing and gear.
  4. Inspect edges daily and reinforce early.
  5. Use a bundle so you always have replacements ready.

Small habits, big result

Most users don’t need complex hacks—just consistent prep and the right patch design. Over time, this dramatically reduces early peel-offs.
