The Eversense® E3 CGM System is designed to provide alerts on your smart transmitter and mobile device when your glucose level has reached the alert levels you set. You will decide the settings for your glucose alerts, targets, and rates of change based on input from your health care professional.
Eversense 365 is the only CGM that lasts for a year - see how we compare!
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® E3 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 has a silicone ring that contains a small amount of an anti-inflammatory drug (dexamethasone acetate). For more information regarding dexamethasone acetate please contact your health care professional.
If you are concerned that you may be experiencing an adverse effect, contact your health care professional.
Once a new sensor is inserted by your health care professional and paired with the transmitter using the Eversense® App, it will start the 24-hour warm-up phase. Once the 24-hour warm-up phase is completed, you will begin the Initialization Phase.
Initialization Phase (after 24-hour Warm-Up Phase)
During this phase, 4 finger stick blood glucose meter tests are required.
– 1st calibration = 24 hours after sensor insertion.
– 2nd calibration = 2 to 12 hours after 1st successful calibration.
– 3rd calibration = 2 to 12 hours after 2nd successful calibration.
– 4th calibration = 2 to 12 hours after 3rd successful calibration.
Eversense E3 has demonstrated excellent accuracy when you need it most - we’ve demonstrated 99% of high (180 mg/dL) and 94% of low (70 mg/dL) glucose events1 detected correctly and essentially no compression lows.2

The Eversense® E3 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System is indicated for continually measuring glucose levels for up to 180 days in persons with diabetes age 18 and older. The system is indicated for use to replace fingerstick blood glucose (BG) measurements for diabetes treatment decisions. Fingerstick BG measurements are still required for calibration primarily one time a day after day 21, 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 E3 CGM System is a prescription device; patients should talk to their health care provider to learn more.
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.
