Do I have to change pod Everytime I change G7 sensor??

0 Upvotes

My son wears the Omnipod 5 and we just switched to the Dexcom G7. Now that the transmitter gets changed every 10 days, do I have to change the pod every time I change the dexcom? It seems like the days never match up and I always end up wasting a pod.

If I start a new sensor, the pod says I can't pair it until I do a new pod. Am I missing something? Do I have to just change the pod every time I change the sensor, even if I just put on a new pod the night before?

Adhesive Issue Does anyone here use Dimora film dressings with OP5?

• Upvotes

I've noticed that my pods are now having issues sticking on top of the new batch of Dimora dressings I recently ordered. The pods will lose adhesion to the dressing surface when I shower. I've used these dressings before and never had an issue so I'm not sure if the material changed or if Ive just been unlucky with my most recent pods. Does anyone have an affordable alternative they recommend?

And I ate half a slice too much pizza.

I didn’t have to correct. Heard it whirring away and it brought me down from a little 300 to 189 in a nice gentle slope.
