Sunscreen, lotions, etc
I’ve been wearing the freestyle Libre 3 cgm for about 2 1/2 months with no problems. But it’s coming up to sunscreen season and I’m a little concerned about how to treat the cgm.
I guess I can’t use spray sunscreens around the sensor. And then everyone is just real careful to not get sunscreen lotion near the sticky patch that keeps the sensor adhered to the skin? Is that enough caution? Any tips or tricks? I guess we just have various pale round patches on the backs of our arms all summer :) ?
Also, prolonged sun exposure and being in the pool (which has a slick of sunscreen on it all summer) doesn’t affect or damage the cgm?
