My Dexcom supplier included two packs of these patches in my last order. I haven’t tried them yet but they are advertised as hypo-allergenic and gentle on skin.

I use the free patches from dexcom, so curious how these compare.
Is there a higher cost with them included?

I haven’t tried one yet but I have used KT tape in other situations and had no adverse reactions. These were just included in the last shipment at no extra cost so I don’t know if they are samples or will be a regular item going forward.

Engaging in a little necro-threading again - still catching up - but I posted about Skin Grip patches back in December. They were highly recommended by the wife of a good friend who manages an endo office, has D herself, and swears they prolong the life of the CGM. They’re not expensive and work fine, but I’ve had mixed results in terms of prolonged life. (In fairness, I haven’t used them religiously, so I don’t really have a good data set by which to form a reliable opinion.)
