How long does a sensor last without activating?

Well, I have put on a new sensor because the one who had is giving me readings quite below the real ones but I think that for the moment I will throw with the one that does not go very well and wait to activate the other.

Do you think that being already put on me when I activate it even if they spend 10 days?

I believe that if because not starting it, it has not been activated maybe.I put one the first time and started telling me from the moment I activated it, I put it at night and I activated it in the morning

Yes, overnight I do it many times but 10 days, in case there was someone who had done it.

Talk to speak because I do not have the experience, but I have read you to say, that when the useful life of the sensor is ending the readings are somewhat adulterated ...
I imagine that they have a useful life of 2 weeks because the reagent that goes in the interstitial fluid is losing bellows.
That is, nothing possibly happens, at most that the readings are not very reliable ...

No, it doesn't work.
The same thing happened to me @nigiri and when I wanted to activate it 12 days later it gave me error and I had to throw it.
FreeLink failed me but the glucometer and Diabox recovered, so I left the 2. An error.

Nothing, I have finally activated it.The deviation of the other, if I was not pregnant, would give me a little like but being, I can't afford it.I have the high glucose alarm at the lowest that the machine allows me, in 120, and when I whistle I am really in 160 or more so that I have activated the other.
I hope it works, it is the third I put in 6 days ...
Thanks @ruthbia and @anif

Guardian 4 I put it 12-14 hours before activating it and without problems.10 days is a barbarity, not because it will not work for you but because your skin will be covered a lot of time and itching and doors may appear to the glue.

14 days I am with my skin covered every time I change the sensor and nothing happens to me @macarron_con_diabetes

Let's see, the sensor in operation can be years, or whatever the battery.The only reason for the change every 15 days is that you do not seek to take a via nailed to your arm and that is not healthy to take it for a long time.In my case when I have been with the sensor for about 14 days to have itchy discomfort etc.Apart from the fact that the glue does not last forever and the sensor's route is degrading.It doesn't make much sense to wear a sensor stuck and stuck if you are not going to use it.Use if but as they tell you, you can give you reading failures depending on the time that the tube is nailed

I believe that the sensor is saturating until it begins not to be reliable.So as soon as you already put it the same if it is activated or not.
