Eversense gives you real-time glucose readings through a small sensor that’s placed just under the skin of your upper arm by a healthcare professional. The smart transmitter sits above the sensor, sending glucose data to your app. Want to learn more about the science behind Eversense? Check out our “How Eversense Works” video!
The Eversense® E3 CGM system consists of three main components: a glucose sensor, a Smart Transmitter, and a Mobile Medical Application to read the glucose data.
The Eversense® E3 Sensor Kit includes:
- Pouch with the Sensor inside of a sensor holder
The Eversense® E3 Sensor is a miniaturized fluorometer that uses fluorescent intensity to measure glucose in interstitial fluid. The sensor is implanted subcutaneously (under the skin) on the upper arm, leaving no part of the sensor protruding from the skin. The sensor remains in place and provides
CGM measurements for the operating life of the sensor for up to 180 days.
The sensor is encased in a biocompatible material and utilizes a unique fluorescent, glucose indicating polymer. A light emitting diode embedded in the sensor excites the polymer, and the polymer then rapidly signals changes in glucose concentration via a change in light output. The measurement is then relayed to the smart transmitter. Measurements are completed automatically and require no action by the user.
The sensor is approximately 3.5 mm x 18.3 mm and has a silicone ring that contains a small amount of dexamethasone acetate, an anti-inflammatory steroid drug. The dexamethasone acetate minimizes inflammatory responses, very similar to common medical devices, such as pacemakers.
The Eversense E3 Sensor includes the sacrificial boronic acid (SBA) design modification.

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.
