The history and construction of the Diabetic Sensor patches.

That colorful tape you see typically worn by many professional athletes and Olympians is called a Kinesiology tape.

First developed in the 1970s by Japanese chiropractor Kenzo Kase, the Kinesiology tape came to prominence after the 2008 Olympics, and several companies have developed products since. 

The Kinesiology Tape is very different from regular athletic / strapping tape.

It has unique elastic properties and made up of cotton fibers with polymer elastic strands woven throughout, this allows the Kinesiology tape to provide dynamic support. 

Most types of athletic / strapping tape are non-elastic, and are wrapped tightly around an injured joint or muscle to provide rigid support and restrict movement. They can only be worn for short periods of time, after which they must be removed to restore movement and circulation.

Kinesiology tape can be worn during intense exercise, in the shower or even swimming thereby making it perfect for Diabetics, requiring Diabetic Sensor patches.
