Some patches are about hiding the sensor. These are about owning it. Our Type 1 Awareness Collection turns your CGM or insulin pump into a quiet (and sometimes loud) statement: the blue circle, the diabetes awareness ribbon, "no off switch", "T1D warrior" and similar designs that name the condition rather than dress around it.

For the people who'd rather start the conversation

Diabetes awareness isn't about asking for sympathy — it's about correcting the room. Most people still mix up type 1 and type 2. Most strangers assume the device on your arm is something diet-related. A patch that says it plainly answers the question before it's asked, and gives parents of newly-diagnosed children something to point to on social media when they're trying to explain.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and 14 November is World Diabetes Day — when most people in this collection see the heaviest wear. But many of our customers wear these year-round.

Compatible with

Frequently asked questions

What's the blue circle?

The blue circle is the international symbol for diabetes, adopted by the International Diabetes Federation. You'll see it on awareness campaigns worldwide every November.

When is Diabetes Awareness Month?

November. World Diabetes Day falls on 14 November every year, marking the birthday of Frederick Banting, co-discoverer of insulin.

Are these patches type 1 specific or also for type 2?

Most of the designs in this collection use type 1 language ("T1D", "type 1 warrior") because that's the community we serve most. The blue circle and broader diabetes awareness designs work for any type.

Can I wear one if I have a child newly diagnosed?

Yes. Parents tell us that wearing a small awareness patch — or putting one on the child's own sensor — has helped explain the diagnosis to teachers, family and friends without long conversations.

Do you donate part of the proceeds to charity?

Please check the individual product page for any current partnerships or donations on specific awareness designs.
