Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Removing adhesive left from previous G7
Message-ID: <001601dc9360$602e1ad0$208a5070$@bigpond.com>


Hi all,

I appreciate that the G7 sticks better than the G6, but each time I change
my sensor,  I finish up spending a lot of time trying to remove the glue
left on my skin from the previous sensor

I've tried the usual soap and water, and alcohol swipes, but it takes a lot
of work to get all the gunk off.

Has anyone found a better way?


With appreciation,
Paul in  Australia.

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 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.

Hello Danielle, and All, 

I'm just curious if I missed something? Why does your address below, say, "Glen Burnie, MD, instead of Baltimore, MD? That street address sounds familiar, but I've not yet come across "Glen Burnie," so am just clarifying. Thanks. I'll use the digital format.  😉

Hi guys, I have a girlfriend with multiple disabilities, Blind is not being one of them, but she is medically complex. I know the national Federation of the Blind has talked about multiple disabilities other than blindness on various mailing list and I pacifically have questions about type two and nonprofits that will work with people on getting service animals. Here recently she's shown interest in getting a dog for helping her with her diabetes and other chronic illnesses, which I will not name because the main focus is diabetes. If anybody, has any nonprofit they could point me to in the New Hampshire area that would be really appreciated.

Even though I no longer use a Medtronic pump, some of you might still have one or the 600G. I got the below notice in email today so am cutting and pasting below.

 

Medtronic logo header

URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION

MiniMed™ Paradigm™, 600 series, and 700 series insulin pump systems

Pump Placement with Respect to Infusion Site 

 

Products Impacted

Model/CFN Number 

MiniMed™ Paradigm™ Insulin Pumps (all models) 

MiniMed™ Paradigm™ Insulin Pumps (all models)

Please visit 

this page

for affected user guide versions.

 

February 2026

Medtronic reference: FA1514

 

Dear Valued Customer,

 

We are contacting you with guidance about how to position your pump and infusion set. Please note that this issue and the required actions apply to all

MiniMed™ Paradigm™, MiniMed™ 600 Series, and MiniMed™ 700 Series pump models.

 

Issue Description

 Due to environmental conditions, there may be slight variability in the amount of insulin delivered when your pump is worn at distances above or below

the location of your infusion set.

 This variability may increase with increasing distances above or below your infusion set location.

 Placing the pump above your infusion site can cause over-delivery and placing it below your infusion site can cause under-delivery.

 The greatest variability in insulin delivery may occur at distances beyond 14 inches / 35.5 cm above or below your infusion set location.

 This variability in insulin delivery will not be captured in your pump’s history or CareLink reports.

Risk to Health:

 Individuals who require lower daily insulin doses and those with high insulin sensitivity may experience changes to their blood sugar (hypoglycemia or

hyperglycemia) because of this phenomenon.

 If you are unsure whether this applies to you, it is important that you seek guidance from your healthcare professional.

As of February 9, 2026, Medtronic has not identified any user complaints that can be attributed to this issue.

 

Medtronic MiniMed will update the User Guides for our currently distributed insulin pumps to include the following:

 

“It is important to keep the location of your pump stable relative to your infusion site. Do not wear or place your pump more than 14 in (35.5 cm) above

your infusion site. Doing so can cause an over-delivery of insulin, which may result in hypoglycemia.”

 

User guides that are updated will be available at: 

https://www.medtronicdiabetes.com/download-library.

 

Your Required Actions:

 Keep the location of your insulin pump close to your infusion site.

 If you need to raise the pump above your infusion site, such as when a parent or caregiver is using the pump for a child, limit the time that the pump

is held above the infusion site.

 Pay attention to any alerts from your pump as well as symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia; follow your healthcare professional's treatment instructions

in these

 If you have any concerns about how this may impact insulin delivery and blood glucose, please contact your healthcare professional. You may also contact

us at 1-855-587-4950 with any questions about this notification.
