Right guys started my Gardian Sensor 3 on Monday to go with my 640g and by Wednesday the oval tape was already mostly peeled off. I'm using what I would call hospital tape at the minute to keep it stuck but are there any better suggestions out there, especially something a bit more long term such as a band to go over it and if so where can I get them from?
 
I can't use the medtronic tape due to skin sensitivity so use cavilon spray with skin tac on top with patches I buy from funky pumper website. Skintac wipes will really help with keeping it stuck down. Rock tape is good for helping keep it in place too. I also use another tape if needed, will look up the name and post.
