The Eversense® 365 CGM System includes 1) a small sensor inserted under the skin by a health care provider, 2) a removable smart transmitter worn over the sensor, and 3) an app to display the glucose readings.

The sensor uses fluorescence to measure glucose in interstitial fluid. It is inserted under the skin and provides glucose readings for up to 1 year.

The sensor uses a unique fluorescent, glucose indicating polymer to measure glucose concentration based on the changes in light.

The removable smart transmitter is worn over the sensor and powers the sensor. It wirelessly sends glucose data (via Bluetooth) to the app. The smart transmitter also provides on-body vibe alerts based on your glucose settings. It has a rechargeable battery and is reusable for up to one year.

Your health care professional will explain and perform the simple and quick steps to remove the sensor. You will be fully awake during the approximately 5-minute removal procedure.

Step 1: Site preparation – the sensor site will be cleaned, disinfected, then anesthetized using lidocaine.
Step 2: Incision – a small (~ 5-6mm) incision will be made at the sensor site.
Step 3: Sensor removal – the sensor will be removed and discarded.
Step 4: Site closure – once removed, the incision will be closed with Steri-Strips™ (sutures may be used depending on provider’s preference).

A blood glucose meter is required for calibrating the CGM System, and to make treatment decisions under certain conditions. See Understanding Treatment Decisions with CGM in the Eversense® 365 CGM User Guide for more information.

Calibration is used to ensure the accuracy of the CGM system.

  • Pay close attention to your glucose values, symptoms, and trends. If your symptoms are different than the sensor glucose values or what the alert indicates, confirm your glucose value with a blood glucose meter test before making a treatment decision.

The sensor incision site usually heals within a few days.

Always follow your health care professional’s instructions for care after the sensor insertion or removal.

Contact your health care professional if you have pain, redness, or swelling at the incision site(s) later than 5 days after the sensor insertion or removal, or if the incision has not healed within 5 to 7 days.

If you are concerned about incision site reactions at any time, contact your health care professional.

The Eversense® 365 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System is indicated for continually measuring glucose levels for up to one year in people (18 years and older) with diabetes. The system is indicated for use to replace fingerstick blood glucose (BG) measurements for diabetes treatment decisions. Fingerstick BG measurements are required for calibration one time a week after day 13, and when symptoms do not match CGM information or when taking medications of the tetracycline class. The sensor insertion and removal procedures are performed by a health care provider. The Eversense 365 CGM System is a prescription device; patients should talk to their health care provider to learn more.
