So how long do sensors last for?
They are rated by the company for seven days although most users who buy their own get between 14 and 21 days per sensor. There are some who get 28 days upwards, but I've not been one of those.

I am one of those, other than my last one that I ripped off by accident (after two weeks) I always get more than 28 days.

It does seem to vary quite a lot between people, I'm aware of two people who got 7 days or less during a trial so stopped using it.
