Sport & Diabetes: The Best Accessories to Secure Your Sensor During Exercise
Staying active is one of the best ways to boost your health and well-being — and having diabetes shouldn’t hold you back. Whether you’re running, swimming, cycling, or hitting the gym, the right sports accessories for diabetics help you secure your glucose sensor or insulin pump safely, no matter how intense your workout gets. Here’s how to move freely while keeping your device protected.
1. Keep your sensor secure — even during intense activity
When you sweat, move, and stretch, your sensor can shift or peel off. That’s where the Dia-Style armband makes the difference. Designed for sports and everyday movement, it holds your sensor or patch pump firmly in place without adhesive. The clip lets you fine-tune positioning for both flexibility and stability.
Compatibility: FreeStyle Libre 2 & 3, Dexcom G6 & G7, Guardian Enlite, Simplera Sync, Glucomen Day, Sibionics GS1 — and patch pumps like Omnipod, Glucomen Day.
- Non-adhesive support — gentle on the skin
- Adjustable strap, available in several sizes, for both adults and children
- Rotating clip for precise positioning (Dexcom G7 and Simplera)
- Ideal for sports, swimming, and outdoor training
2. Carry your insulin pump comfortably while training
For pump users, stability and comfort matter most. The Dia-Belly Belt offers a snug, adjustable fit around your waist, keeping your pump secure during any movement. Whether you’re running laps, stretching, or working out at the gym, it keeps tubing in place and out of the way. The belt also features two reinforced openings on the back to guide and protect your pump tubing for a clean, comfortable setup.
- Adjustable, secure fit for any activity
- Soft elastic fabric for maximum comfort
- Two rear openings for easy tubing access
- Discreet, breathable design
3. Keep your pump protected - wherever you move
The Dia-Body Pouch is a flexible and reliable solution for active pump users. Designed for movement and comfort, it can be worn crossbody or on the waist, allowing you to choose what feels most natural during exercise.
The Dia-Body Pouch is available in different versions - with or without a mesh window - so you can access your pump screen easily or keep it fully covered. You can also combine several pouches with a single belt to store your pump, glucose reader, or other diabetes essentials.
- Crossbody or waist-worn design for flexible movement
- Models available with or without viewing window
- Option to use multiple pouches on one belt
- Lightweight, breathable, and durable fabric
4. Secure your device during sports — your way

5. Train freely with integrated insulin pump tops

The Dia-T.Top unisex tank top and the Dia-Crop Top for women keep your insulin pump secure, discreet, and close to your body - so you can move without distractions. Both tops feature integrated side pockets with dedicated tubing openings, helping you avoid pulling, bouncing, or exposed tubing during running, strength training, yoga, or everyday activities.
