CGM & Skin Cleaning Wipes

Accurate Blood Glucose Testing Starts With Clean Fingers

Glucology Alcohol‑Free Wipes are designed to make life easier for CGM users. Contamination from food, dirt, sweat or residue can affect sensor sites and adhesives, and hand washing is not always practical when you are on the go.

Use a wipe to quickly clean and prep the skin before applying your CGM or patch, helping remove oils and old adhesive so your sensor stays put for longer. When it is time to change, the gentle alcohol‑free formula helps loosen and clean away sticky residue around the CGM patch, making removals more comfortable on sensitive skin. Compact single sachets fit easily into your diabetes kit, and with 100 wipes per box you have reliable skin prep and clean‑up ready for every sensor change, workout or swim.

The Science: Why Finger Cleaning Matters

Research confirms that over 90% of blood glucose testing errors result from improper finger preparation or contamination. Sugar on your skin (from fruit, juice, or food) can elevate readings significantly, causing you to think your blood glucose is higher than it actually is – potentially leading to unnecessary insulin injections. Alcohol wipes can interfere with readings and dry out skin. Glucology Alcohol-Free Wipes provide the optimal solution: effective contamination removal without the drawbacks.

Perfect for: Anyone testing blood glucose regularly. Essential for travellers, shift workers, parents, or anyone managing diabetes on-the-go.

Your Questions Answered

Q: Why use alcohol-free wipes instead of alcohol wipes?

A: Alcohol wipes can cause skin dryness and irritation with frequent use. More importantly, alcohol can interfere with some glucose meter readings if not completely evaporated. Glucology Alcohol-Free Wipes effectively remove contamination without these drawbacks.

Q: How effective are these wipes at removing contamination?

A: Contamination is the leading cause of inaccurate readings. Glucology wipes use 0.13% Benzalkonium Chloride, a proven effective cleaning agent. One wipe removes food and dirt residue, eliminating the false high readings caused by contamination.

Q: Can I use these for other purposes besides testing?

A: Yes! Use them to remove blood after testing and to clean insulin pump sites before insertion. They're useful anytime you need gentle finger or skin cleaning.

Q: How many wipes are in one box?

A: 100 wipes total – 5 individual packs with 20 wipes each. One pack is typically enough for a full day of testing.
