Although the manufacturer has set the lifetime of the sensor to 10 days, you can extend the lifetime if you use the xDrip app. To do this, you will need to carefully remove the transmitter and wait at least 10 minutes, then attach the transmitter back to the sensor and start the same sensor as new.
The lifetime of the sensor is individual and depends on how well the sensor is attached and whether the patch will hold. Some users prolong the sensor for up to 5-10 days. That makes a total of about 15-20 days.
Yes, the latest versions of xDrip support NFC readable Novopen Echo Plus. This allows you to record your last injections directly into the xDrip app. The xDrip then predicts your blood sugar movement a few hours in advance, use with caution.
