I just changed to Dexcom 7 and am using Omnipod 5. Is anyone having issues with losing connection during the day and also at night?

Both devices need to be on the same side of your body.

I have the new Ilet from Data Bionics and have been using the Dexcom G7 and sometimes it loses signal from the sensor so (I have to reset it. Worse comes to worse,change the sensor.

I have a Dexcom G7 with the Beta Bionics Pump. Sometimes it looses connection when I'm sleeping or I have a coat on. Remember Bluetooth is a wireless signal. So with a coat on or sleeping on either one or both can cause it to lose signal, I have a coat on right now and it's working great. Sleeping with my arm under the pillow and laying on the pump doesn't work.
