About us

Four to Six Life was started by two friends who, just like all Type 1 Diabetics, were facing various challenges related to keeping blood glucose level in target range. One using Dexcom G6, and another using Freestyle Libre, we were always sharing info on our experiences. Two main points were almost always the folowing:

 

1. All T1D devices are a life changing inventions and we should be grateful to have them. It is incredible how much we can learn and do about T1D by having so much data. Alarms are saving us from dangerous situations, and we are hoping that our lives will be much better in future thanks to these devices.

2. All these devices are expensive. Regardless of the way you get them (Prescription, Insurance, or paying for them), reality is that they cost a lot of money. They are absolutely worth it, but that doesn't change the fact that they are expensive.

 

All this said, with all the differences between Libre and G6, the common thing is that unless you have very dry skin and you are always thinking about them, you re likely to lose them before their advertised end date. Considering the fact that all people with T1D should live healthy lifestyle and exercise this problem gets even worse. We both agreed that this is a big issue for our budget, and that it is causing us so much stress. We were able to find additional patches to protect our devices, but these were single use solutions, felt uncomfortable, caused skin irritation, and created a lot of waste. We knew that something better can be done.

 

After months of discussion and weeks of design and testing, we are proud to present you our range of elastic armbands. We are confident that they are the best protection available for T1D devices. They are safe for your skin, strong, cool, and will last you forever. They offer almost 100% protection and will help you use any device to it's maximum useful life. 

 

We strongly believe that you will love them. If you don't, just let us know and we will issue you a full refund. 

 

Our goal is to make life for all T1D people less stressful and less expensive. Devices that became available in recent years brought us incredible benefits. We hope that we have solved the only downside of them, and that using our armband with your device is a perfect combination.
