Sounds like we are the exception, but we hardly ever have issues with our sensors (G5). In fact, I can’t remember the last time we didn’t get at least 12 days from a sensor…most of the time 2 full weeks. Maybe we’re the only ones getting “the good batches?”

On second thought…maybe the issue is that I’m still using the OLD SUPPLY of sensors??? Maybe when I get up to the stock that was built in the timeframe being discussed we will see more issues (crossing my fingers not)
