I've been using the g7 for about 6 months, and really like its feature whereby you get a grace period of 12 hours when a sensor expires. I usually insert my new sensor then and activate when the grace period dies. So that means I end up pre-inserting by just under 12 hours. But recently when I tried inserting it more than 12 hours before I activated it, I got an immediate sensor fail on start up.
So I want to know whether this is a coincidence or not. Does anyone have experience? (And when you activate the sensor it regards itself as started whenever you first inserted it, so activating more than 12 hours early means that you end up with less than 10 days use from the sensor, even with the extra 12 hours grace period.)
Any feedback gratefully received.
