[QUOTE="therower, post: 2160480, member: 47983"] [USER=500850]@Capt-Slog[/USER] . The reason I’ve still got G4’s is because I ordered a box of 4 just prior to them stopping them a while back. The 45 days was an exception, I average about 22 days per sensor. I then try to go a week without wearing one. So usually I get through 1 sensor a month. The G4 lasts for 7 days officially but a very simple reboot just set it up for a further 7 days and so on. The G4 had to be calibrated every 12 hrs at least, as it’s lifespan continued then I would keep a closer eye on its accuracy with more frequent BS checks. How did I know it was about dead? A few different things could and would happen. ??? Would appear on the screen on a regular basis, the numbers posted to the receiver every 5 mins would start jumping up and down far to erratically, the sensor would be way out compared to BS. As for the G6 I have very little to go on at the moment but once I’ve used my last G4 I should be a bit wiser. Good luck with yours. [/QUOTE]
