No. If the algorithm determines 2 calibrations/day are needed to maintain the most accurate readings possible, the user will be notified. The best way for a user to support system accuracy is to calibrate as prompted and to always calibrate the system using only a fingerstick blood sample. DO NOT calibrate at times when glucose may be rapidly changing (e.g., after meals, after dosing insulin). DO NOT use a blood glucose reading from an alternative site (such as forearm or palm) to calibrate the system.
The simple answer is no. While you may optionally calibrate the Eversense E3 System more frequently, (daily calibrations entries must be spaced at least one hour apart), this will not impact the accuracy of the system.
No. The Eversense E3 Sensor is only compatible with the Eversense E3 Smart Transmitter. The Eversense E3 Smart Transmitter is only compatible with the Eversense E3 Sensor.
No, your sensor will continue to work for the remainder of the time (up to 3 months(2))
(2)Indicated for up to 90 days
The sensor requires a 24-hour Warm-Up Phase to stabilize in your body before glucose values will be collected by the smart transmitter. During the Warm-Up Phase, you do not need to wear the smart transmitter. If you decide to wear the smart transmitter over the sensor during this time, you will receive a message on the app indicating the Warm-Up Phase is in progress. Once the Warm-Up Phase is complete, turn ON the smart transmitter and place it over the sensor with the Eversense® adhesive patch. The system will prompt you to calibrate using the app.
The most recent 90 days of your glucose data is stored in the app. Uninstalling/re-installing the app will clear all the data from the mobile device and only the most recent three days’ worth of glucose data will be retrieved from the smart transmitter and stored in the app.

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.
