[QUOTE="Hertfordshiremum, post: 2440409, member: 507802"] Hi Even before developing type 1 diabetes 3.5 years ago I have always reacted very badly to plasters or any kind of adhesive, almost like it’s burnt my skin. I have had a few operations and every time had a cannula that had to be moved due to swelling around the cannula and a nasty rash under the plaster around it. Even back in the 90’s when this first happened to me they said it was my immune system attacking the foreign object in my arm, hand etc and it’s unusual. If anyone finds a solution or also has this please post. I always worry if I need a pump what would I do, I don’t have much hope that I wouldn’t react to it. [USER=176060]@lindaburner[/USER] zinc oxide sudocrem is for me the best thing to heal it up reasonably quickly. I have never heard of cavilon either but have just googled it and may get some in, thanks juicyj [/QUOTE]
