I have recently moved from dexcom (self funded) to libre 2plus (NHS) and I’m having problems with connectivity unless I wear them both on the same arm and even then it can be patchy. I’ve given it a month to iron out teething problems and getting used to it. I also find it a challenge to have them both on the same arm for the course of a sensor (15 days) as I have to find 5 different sites for the omnipod for that time which can uncomfortable/not ideal. Are there any other users who can give me tips on connectivity etc as I would hate to give back to self funding.

I had exactly the same problem. I expect a high percentage of people on O5 with L2+ will also. I had to give up on Libre and as I still have prescription for Dexcom one sensors I decided to purchase an Anubis transmitter than means it can work just like a G6. It has worked absolutely flawlessly for me. Phone call with consultant next week will be interesting when I feedback how terrible the Libre 2+ is
