Hi All, my libre 2 sensor ended yesterday after its 14 days , but I noticed that I was still getting readings from it on diabox. So just out of curiosity I left the sensor on my arm to see how long it would keep going. I got an extra 12 hours from it before it finally died.

The Libre 1 originally had a 12 hour warm up before it would give data. That was later reduced to the 1 hour warm up that we are all familiar with.
It was cheaper to do a software fix, than retool the hardware. So Libre view gathers data for 14 days, then says 'sensor ended', the extra 12 hours is available via 3rd party apps.
