I find it quite difficult to wash off the glue from my hand after removing the libre sensor. It is not washed with soap or alcohol, it seems to me that my skin will peel off faster than I will wash this glue. In general, it takes me several days wash all the glue off my hand
Sometimes it seems to me that the glue that is used for libre sensors can be used instead of nails :hilarious:

Maybe you could try baby oil or even plain vegetable oil, or if all else fails Pelican release spray sprayed on your sensor whilst still on your arm, will get rid of the stickiness.

I use Zoff adhesive remover wipes by Smith & nephew. They do a great job. I get from amazon but watch out some charge a lot more than others. They come in packs of 20 and one wipe does the job. But make sure wash area after to make sure no allergy issues. Used in the medical profession

I use normal hand sanitizer to remove the sticky residue from Fentanyl 50 mcg patches after removal. The santizer helps clean the arm up before I put a new patch on.
