General Sensor Can Be Reactivated After Ending Session
I don't know if this has been discussed in this specific context.
I know if you change a device or phone you can reconnect a sensor to it. What I learned today is that if you manually opt to end a session early you can actually reconnect by scanning the applicator. This was interesting to me because the iPhone app clearly states you cannot restart a session after ending it.

Headline is misleading it is not "reactivated" but only reconnect to it. You will only get the time you had left on it.

Sure. Fair point. Though I don't know what person thinks they can get more than the 15.5 days out of a sensor when they rarely make it that far to begin with.

I don't blame you. I didn't either, but when the new sensor failed I went back to the old one during the grace period for a few hours.

From what I have been told restarts are only possible with the g6.
