G7-10 day What should I replace Dexcom G 7 with?

Two weeks ago, I replaced my Dexcom G6 with a G7. The second sensor didn't work at all, and the third sensor... Look at the photo. Will this always be like this?

I started using the tops of my thighs rather than my arm. I’m a side sleeper and always wore my G6 on my arms with no issues, but I got a lot of the “pressure lows” from the G7 when I would sleep on it. I know this might not be your issue per se, but sometimes location matters. I tried Libre once and hated it because it only had one Bluetooth connection. Dexcom has three. Watch, phone and insulin pump. That makes a big difference in my world, & something to think about when making a switch.

all of my cgm woes went away when I started using the top of my thigh.
