Once you activated your NEXUS card, your Global Entry was deactivated. NEXUS gives you all Global Entry privileges.
If your NEXUS will expire in one year, renew at T-364, which will give you plenty of time to schedule an appointment, if required. Many FTers reported their NEXUS were renewed without an interview.
