G7 Help

I recently dumped some old Enlite / G3 overtapes which were transparent.

I’m not sure if the clear Dexcom G6 ovals I was sent are lurking at the back of the same shelf, but I can send them on if that helps @Emerald87

I prefer hypafix which is an opaque white fabric style tape which I use when restarting my G6s

The lads on the G7 so a different shape and size unfortunately.

But I thought G7 was smaller - so the fairly generous margin you get around a G6 would be slightly more-so on a G7. 🙂

Just googled Hypafix and the material looks very similar to the G7 overfixing patch. I’m a bit funny with plasters (and in general :rofl: ) but I’ve had absolutely no problems with the G7 over-patches: no itching, no redness, no sweating at all.

Yes, it’s very small (which is mainly why I chose it). I have seen a G6 briefly in real life but attached to a fellow T1. It looked more elongated. The G7 is like a slightly off circle, kind of £1 coin-sized but thinner.
 
I always think g6 looks like a wee coffin. The libre is a lot more aesthetically pleasing
