Does anyone use any type of adhesive to fix the catheter to the skin?
Now in summer they take off more.
The bomb I use is the ACCU-Chek Spirit Combo

Where do Skin-Tac sell?Any substitute that can find in my pharmacy?
I have recommended the skin-tac instead of Tegaderm to fix the free freestyle sensor.But today in the pharmacy he did not even appear on his computer, so I understand that it is not sold in Spain.

...


All the best

What gives us the best result is the physio, kinesilogica tape or something, you cut a piece rounds the tips and make a central hole to be connected where the catheter is connected.We use it for that and for free.
