b.

Soreness at the sensor site can indicate allergic contact dermatitis or an infection and warrants clinician evaluation (especially if worsening, spreading, draining, or accompanied by fever). The other scenarios are typically handled by pharmacist counselling: early refill for travel is routine; most BP medications don’t interfere with Libre readings; and Libre sensors are water‑resistant so showering is generally acceptable.
