[Diabetes-Talk] Removing adhesive left from previous G7

[Paul Magill]

Thank you to those who answered on and off list!  

I had not even thought of such benign solutions as butter and coconut oil, I'll give them a try next time.

That isopropyl alcohol    sounds a bit too dodgy, so I looked up rubbing alcohol  and it is sold here as hand sanitiser, so I might try that also.

Thanks again,
Paul.

Instead of using alcohol wipes try using  Isopropyl <https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/isopropyl-alcohol-vs-rubbing-alcohol>
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.

Thank you, I'll give them a try.
