[Diabetes-Talk] Removing adhesive left from previous G7

[Mark Feliz]

Instead of using alcohol wipes try using  Isopropyl

alcohol
on a cotton swab.
or, slice off a piece of real butter from a stick of butter and rub it into
the adhesive until the butter is all melted. Clean with a cloth that has
water and dawn dish soap. I use butter to remove silicon sealant, caulking,
glue, roofing tar, and much more.
