This is one of the threads you may be remembering, and it was mostly about G4 Platinum/G5 Mobile. > [@Why are my G5 sensors not lasting as long?](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/why-are-my-g5-sensors-not-lasting-as-long/5420): > > I have […] been having sensor problems with the G5 for about 6 months: before, I could make them last 10-14 days, but in the past 6 months I have been having a hard time getting them to last just 7 days: we have to ask for a lot of replacements. This is weird because I am not any thinner than I was (although I don’t have a lot of fat). [EDIT: copy pasted from another post to split a thread] Can’t say as I’ve noticed any change, personally. I’ve been getting the same averages: Last box, which expired 09/2019: 45, 39, 37 and 18 days. Box before that: 47, 40, 36 and 24 days. Currently on day 16 of the first sensor out of my latest box, expiring 01/2020. Was unusually noisy in the second week but has calmed down. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/bad-g5-sensors/7131)._
