Omnipod 5 with Libre 2 plus

[Elizabeth Margaret]

I am getting conflicting advice regarding the positioning of Omnipod 5 with Libre 2 plus. [Online advice]
*I tried both on the same side of the body inline of sight (Libre back of arm and omnipod side of leg) but I kept getting the message 'searching for sensor'
*It works well wearing both on the arm, as suggested by the hospital, but it also said keep 3 inches apart.
This is rather limiting, and 3 inches apart on the arm is most impractical.

Hi Elizabeth

I find it works OK if I site it on my midriff, towards the back i.e. under my elbow when my arm is straight by my side, or on my lower back, at the top of the buttock on the same side as the sensor. I do agree with you though, it does limit sites for rotation.

I tried that and it worked during the day but not at night when the sensor beeped at me.
Maybe I will try it again.
Thanks,
