The Senseonics Eversense CGM recently received FDA approval and is in the process of launching in the United States (it's already up and running in Europe). It has been designed to be the first ever CGM with an implantable sensor that lasts up to 90 days. The Eversense System consists of a fluorescence-based sensor, a smart transmitter worn over the sensor to facilitate data communication, and a mobile app for displaying glucose values, trends and alerts. While being light, discreet, and comfortable to wear, the system’s smart transmitter interprets glucose data from the sensor and sends it to the system’s mobile application via Bluetooth, so patients can review their glucose data to help them make daily diabetes decisions.

The Eversense Long-Term Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System offers many new benefits:

No weekly sensor self-insertions: With Eversense, a trained health care provider numbs the area and places the sensor in the upper arm and you’re good to go for up to 3-months.

Quickly detects glucose highs and lows: In clinical studies, the Eversense system detected 95% of hypoglycemic episodes (70 mg/dL) and 99% of hyperglycemic episodes (180 mg/dL) within 15 minutes.
Alerts you can see, feel, and hear: The Eversense CGM System can be configured to provide three types of alerts - visual, auditory, and on-body vibe alerts, which can provide you with an additional safety advantage, even during sleep.
Discreet and flexible: The smart transmitter, with its low profile and flexibility to remove and reattach without wasting a sensor, enables a greater level of discretion.

Eversense CGM Reviews

Check out this article from Beyond Type 1 with reviews from two people with T1D who have tried out the Eversense. They both have a lot of insight about the nuances of using the Eversense. For example, I learned about the advantages of the adhesive: "The adhesive is by far the main differentiator of the Eversense from their competition – this was easily the best thing for me. Because the sensor is fully below the skin, the transmitter adhesive can be changed as often as you like. Each adhesive patch lasts a day and can be peeled off and stuck right back on multiple times per day. Because the adhesive only has to last a day, it is completely hypoallergenic. Technically, you can stick the transmitter on however you like – while at work once, I ruined my Eversense patch and just stuck the transmitter back using materials from an office first aid kit!"
