Anonymous Coward User ID: 73184794 France 07/05/2020 06:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This cannot be happening in America, folks. Why can we not find isopropyl alcohol? Diabetic relatives need it to clean supplies. Why can't TPTB get to the bottom of these ridiculous shortages? This has to stop! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78257315 [link to www.medscape.com (secure)] [link to spectrumlocalnews.com (secure)] Pretty sure a bottle of 40% Vodka and some cotton swabs would work just as well...and probably cheaper in the long run. |

The last thing you want to do is jab a needle cleaned with sugar into a brittle type 1 diabetic. Need a better solution. My mom uses an insulin pump. Cleaning off the affected area with Vodka is a really bad idea. Bullshit. Vodka is ethanol. Rubbing alcohol is also ethanol. |

Cleaning off the affected area with Vodka is a really bad idea. I can only repeat myself: use a 3% Peroxide solution. Try to buy it bulk. I paid 11 Euros for a gallon of a 3% peroxide solution here in Germany. |

I can order from American Diabetes Assoc. Peroxide 2%, soap and water also work." So I guess the peroxide fella was correct and she is Ok. Yay! Thank you, peroxide fella!
