I put a started a sensor at 11:00 am on 20th December , and expected it to finish at 10:59 on the 3rd January
But it finished at 15:00 today, 2nd January
Am I wrong?

I'd seen it was counting down the days but was cross it finished this afternoon as I was testing eating a piece of my husband's birthday cake and now know where my bg started but not where it ended
 
You're right.
And if you save the sensor and give Abbott a call tomorrow they'll likely replace it for you.

Hope the birthday cake was good, and happy birthday MrA2!
 
I'm pleased that I did bother to phone them and check. As it was in its last 24 hours I thought I'd just mistimed it, but I hadn't spotted it had actually given an error message. I've had a coplue of others fail in the past but it is extra pleasing there were no arguments from them bit being so close to the end.

Interestingly, it failed at the time I had put it on my arm but I didn't activate it until 11 am the next day, might be coincidence

Coincidence.
I always put them on a day before activating, and always change on the same day so I'm certain I get my 14 days.
