10 • Next Sensor Session
Each sensor session lasts up to 10 days, plus a 12-hour grace period at the end. The
grace period gives you more time to replace your sensor so you can do it when it's
convenient for you. The time left in the grace period shows on your screen. During the
grace period, your sensor continues to work as it did during the sensor session.
You'll get alerts letting you know your sensor session or grace period will end soon.
You can choose to wear the sensor until the grace period ends or end the session
early.
To find out how much time you have left in your sensor session, go to Connections >
Sensor in the app, or in the receiver, go to Menu > Information > Sensor > Sensor
Info. When the sensor expires, the 12-hour grace period starts.
