According to US page the G7 15 day has been given FDA approval in the US from mid 2025. Don’t know how long it will be to get it in the UK. The notes at the bottom of the article says 75% ish sensors made it to the 15 days, so quite a high failure rate though.

Mmm, to be honest i think i may prefer 95% getting to 14 days rather then 75% to 15 days....you need to be able to rely on your sensor.

Mind you, with g6 you generally know when its in its way out.
14 days is good too cos then you are changing on the same day of the week
 
If failure rate includes the sensor falling off, and if an over-patch solves that, then 75%ish wouldn't be so bad. The biggest problem I have with the One+, which appears to be a G7 but missing some features, is that they start peeling off far sooner than the Libre 2s I was using. The adhesive Abbott uses is clearly miles better than the 10 day One+. If the sensor actually dies or gives bad readings at that rate though that would be seriously problematic.
