Ditching G7, going back to the G6 Supplies

I have been having seemingly constant issues since I started with the G7 a few months ago. Several sensors that wont pair (I assume because the on-board battery died), and recently most of the sensors will connect with my phone, but not my pump. Not really a 'closed loop' system if my pump cannot auto correct for high/lows.

Called today to have the switch made back to the G6, which I firmly believe is better. Maybe the G7 will be better with time.

I had lots of problems with G7 at first, but now I am really pleased that I kept it because they really are easier. A suggestion is just to commit to once a day calibration.

That's another problem I have had. I've done several calibrations, but each time it says "Calibration not used". When I look that up online, it says to wait and try again, so I wait and try again, and it happens again.

Nobody has even asked if I want to switch to G7. I'm fine with that - yall can be the guinea pigs.
