[QUOTE="Capt-Slog, post: 1993316, member: 500850"] Hi, I have known a number of people who have had trauma from hitting a little blood vessel. Darn things seem to be all over our bodies! Not easy to see them either, unless you have varicose veins. I also “knew” some friends who were suffering with the problem of removing their CGM sensor or the cannula from their pump. Libre sensors in particular have some pretty strong adhesive. HOWEVER.... For those of us in the diabetes fraternity who are also unlucky enough to have to wear a Colostomy bag, we know ALL about adhesive and what it does to your skin. Unlike diabetics, we cannot rotate our site. Our bags have to go in the same place every day. But there IS a really great product that myself and my fellow Colostomates use to release adhesive and it also works absolutely perfectly for removing Libre sensors. It is called APPEEL from a company called Clinimed. It comes in a small spray can and it is not only available on prescription, you can also get a can as a free sample by contacting Clinimed on their website. A few puffs and off it pops! No pulling, no pain and no adhesive residue afterwards either. Win-Win [/QUOTE]
