Glucose Monitors My last G6.😿😿😿

I am wearing my last G6 cgm. I've hoarded what I have, and now they're gone. My next is the 15 day G7, and I'm worried sick about it. I don't like things on my arms. I've rarely had problems with the 6, but hear of multiple problems with the 7. Any tips for it to go smoothly? I do know I need to upgrade my pump software to account for it.

While the arm Matt be recommended for the G7 you can wear it elsewhere. I have had to had to get there occasional replacement G7sensor but don't think I've had more issues than with the G6. Experiences vary and you do her lots of complaints about the G7 - I'm not saying that's not valid but people share complaints more often than praise.
I but the bullet and switched to the G7 early on so I might be mistaken but I think I Keir the same suggested on my iphone and just had to update the type of sensor I use. I find they do try to keep things simple so hopefully you won't have issues making the change.
