Can the Dexcom G7 be worn on the Front of the upper arm just like the Dexcom G6.
The internet says that certain pharmacy's have the omnipod 5 that are integrated with Dexcom G7 and Dexcom G6. Which pharmacies are selling those pods.

Pharmacies don’t sell patch pumps aka ‘pods’ in the UK. You have to go direct to Omnipod to purchase privately and Dexcom G7 sensors (I’m on this) are currently still not approved to work with the closed loop in the UK ( only in the US) but apparently this is eminent. The G6 is. And they clearly plan on announcing it because AI pulls up pre written pages saying that it’s all compatible but then they don’t work when clicked on unless you are in the US…

Regarding positioning as with G6- G7 can go pretty much anywhere that works for you as long as you don’t loose accuracy or connection range. Official stuff will say back of arm and upper hip but many people use thighs, abdomen and some even upper chest. It’s trial and error.
