It could last longer for a person with low and steady BG than for one with chronically high, so the sensor life is a conservative compromise between battery size, Bluetooth wake cycles, and probe life. If the probe had a larger supply of reactant or its dispersal rate could be slowed, the sensor life could be extended to the battery capacity or the max that the FDA would permit.
