I’m having a MRI on Sunday for my EPI and I’m just worried about my sensor if I’d have to take it off? It’s ended it’s 2 weeks but I don’t know if I should keep it off and carry on or risk putting new one on and having to take it off before the mri as I think it’s a waste any advice?

I would keep it off.

From https://www.freestylelibre.us/safety-information.html

The FreeStyle Libre 14 day Flash Glucose Monitoring System must be removed prior to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) ... treatment

American site, but presumably the advice here is the same.

You'll have to take it off for an MRI.
