[Diabetes-Talk] re question for libre users

[Jeanette Kutash]

Gary, what is your purpose in looking for waterproof? I ask because if it is
to protect them in the shower here is what I do: I takean 11 by 13 inch
plastic bag, make a whole in the bottom that is just large enough for my
hand and arm to go through and slide the bag up and over my sensor. Then I
take a large elastic band and put it on the top open end of the bag around
my arm. If I am careful this keeps everything dry. When I take it off, I
slide the elastic band off first, then I roll the bag from the top down off
the sensor, and immediately trash it then pat the sensor dry.

For general extra protection I use a CVs product whose name I can get you
tomorrow and I put that on top of the sensor. It is clear and very thin and
you can still take your readings through it. Less protective and harder to
apply are the simpatch products, but if that is what you need we can talk by
phone as that will be easier to explain in person.
