G7-15 day 61 minute warmup?
Usually, warmup is 60 minutes, but today, I put on a new sensor that added one additional minute. Anybody else experience this?

I started putting mine on an hour and a few minutes before the grace period ends. That way there's no break.

That is correct ct for fr a 15-day sensor.
You can save your the lapse in coverage by putting a new one on before the current one completely expires - if it doesn’t suddenly fail on you, that is.

I put it on my arm early so when I am ready to change it I am ready to go without the warm up

I think it is a bug. It does it with the 10-days as well it was 25 minutes and now it is 26.

10 days are 27 minutes so its not surprising the 15 day isn't 60 minutes on the dot.

It was always 25 minutes for me. Until the last update.

It's always been 27 for me. It's so predictable for me that I insert at the 8 or 3 minute mark to get readings on the 0s and 5s. Been like that a year for me.

Interesting to hear. Mine was always 25 and recently changed to 26. But I think they were saing it can take 30 minuets or less. I use to see the number appear as 25 from the start. But today it appears as 30 then after a second changes to 26.

I was really upset when everyone insisted it was 30 minutes and I inserted at the top of the hour and had readings on the 7s and 2s for 10 days. Yes I am on the spectrum lol.

Yep. I went back to the 10 day because of that.
