I am getting my sensor inserted in a few weeks, so excited! I will have about seven days left on my Libre 3+ sensor at that time, I was planning on leaving it on to work with Twiist pump while the sensor is adjusting and taking calibrations. Has anyone had any issues doing that? I’m assuming switching over to the Eversense in the Twiist app is straightforward.

I just had the Eversense 365 inserted yesterday, warmup finished this morning and I am now experiencing the joy of trying to get the transmitter properly placed on my arm over the sensor (plus derm strips plus the bandage as the incision heals).

What I'm running into is that I'll get the transmitter placed with an excellent signal but it changes as I move my arm into different positions, and the app on the phone will periodically tell me that the sensor isn't detected. I'm not sure if loose skin is causing it or if there's just a weak signal through the bandaging or what?

Does the connection get better when the bandaging comes off in a few days? Is it always this finicky? Or do most people have zero problems with their transmitter finding and keeping connection to the sensor? I've already removed the sticker and re-positioned the transmitter a couple of times, and it's like trying to get great television reception back when bunny-ear antennas were a thing.

I'm not counting any chickens before they hatch as this process has taken several months to get sorted out. My insurance took a while to approve my prescription and I had to appeal the initial denial. Then, because my medical group doesn't have any authorized inserters, I had to go out of network to have the insertion done.

The day is here though! I've paid my $10 copay, downloaded the Eversense 365 App and will be on my way in about 15 minutes to get it done!

Pretty excited about this, NGL.

Blood stick111/CGM 112!

Also, I just got my latest results and my A1c went from 5.6 back down to 5.5. I love this thing. Diagnosed in 1987, so things have certainly improved for me.

My readings are often within four or five points difference unless I don’t time the calibration correctly. Occasionally, there’s been a spike in my blood sugar (cough, cough-I made chocolate chip cookies )and the CGM says that it’s steady, but I make sure that it’s steady for an hour before I calibrate.

Have a great day everyone!

Um no blood involved, the flair pre-filled and I can’t delete it 🙏!!!

So far so good!!! Couple of pics attached comparing this morning’s Dex G6 (on t:Slim pump) and Eversense readings, right in range of each other and also in range of the LAST daily finger stick calibration reading for the first 14 days. Now it’s off to weekly! 👍

Where to start? The steri-strips came off at day 7 along with the covering Tegaderm. Not surprised by this as it’s been HOT and HUMID AF. Was using the clear adhesives while these were in place and used them for a few more days as the incision finished healing. No real pain, the implanted sensor was a little ‘bruisy’ sore but that was it.

I have also attached a pic of my arm. It’s tattooed, I drew a green line in Sharpie over the location of the sensor and the incision was right at the bottom. The green line kinda looked ke like a flower stem so you’ll have to look close 😬 You really can’t see it, it healed well!

No adhesive issues… SCORE BONUS!!!

I HATE how ‘medical’ the white adhesive looks, I prefer to keep devices etc. in cognito if possible. I changed how I choose to apply the adhesive to the transmitter and my arm. No pic of that - if anyone is curious let me know, I don’t know if this post would be taken down if I explained or posted it as it’s not ‘standard protocol’. (Side note: it doesn’t irritate me if people see my devices or questions… I guess I just don’t care to loudly advertise it).

I WISH WISH WISH and HOPE HOPE HOPE more pump companies have integration / interoperability on their dockets with this, sooner than later. The Eversense has been spot on and has allowed me to manually make pump decisions when my G6 is out of calibration. Usually my pump’s algorithm would be making changes in the background based off of those G6 readings, which are not reliable (for me) on day 1, day 10, and sometimes in between. Phantom lows and highs that don’t need to be treated, as an example… being treated. No need for that with the Eversense.

That’s all I have for now! Let me know if you have any questions 🫶🏻

I am finding that my accuracy is not nearly as satisfactory as everyone else is finding.

We'll, I guess there is a caveat to it. I am under very good control, last A1C 5.4. So, that means my nights can be down to 70 relatively often. Given 20% off is considered in target, if you take 20% off of 70, that leaves 54. So I do in fact find I'm waking my up for 54, or 41, when it's at 65-80 on reality.

I've got all alarms off of at minimum which now is 55.

When the vibration wakes me, I know immediately if I'm low or not. Fortunately, I feel my lows.

I'm hoping for the day that accurate means within 5 points of reality.

That's not too say I don't experience those good readings, but I have too many way off.

The other day I did a 2.9 mph avg 5,000 step walk, followed by a hard fast mow of my lawn a couple hours later. All that activity, close to 11,000 steps, drove my readings down hard and fast. Said I was 41, blood stick said 75.

Since then I did find that predictive lows was turned on. Maybe now that I have that off, things will change. Although multiple calls about low readings, I got no suggestions about checking that. Mostly got, " Nineteen% off, that's in range": comments.

What kind of lows are you folks experiencing? I'd be scared to use a pump with this, or any other device for that matter. I was on 2 others before this, and they were worse on average, but not necessarily in the same circumstances.

UPDATE 6/12/26

I found last week that I could drop alarm to 55. It was at 69.

Also more importantly, I found that there was a setting for Predictive Alerts. I turned that off . I can see that being why hat has been the main problem.

Last night I had my transmitter on my arm vibrate around midnight, and it was showing 50. I got up and checked sugar with a blood stick and it was 60. I can live with that

I'll post another update after a bit of time if that seems to be consistent.

Hello, I am looking into getting the Eversense 365 ASAP. I got switched recently from the Dexcom G7 10 day to the Libre 3+ and I hate it. It constantly loses signal. I got so tired of it not working I just took it off.

I am waiting to hear back from my rep from the Eversense team to start the process. Is there anything I should know about it? Good or bad? How's the accuracy and reliability? Comfort? Do you like it better than other cgms?

​​

Not sure why it has "warning, blood" but I can't remove it.

Is there anything more to it than installing Esel and changing the source in xdrip?

Just got my insertion and wanting to make sure AndroidAPS gets fed properly when everything comes online and I switch off Dexcom G6

I have done the switch and don’t want to waste these sensors I have remaining, expiring early next year. Dm me with addy and I can use company FedEx to send.

Clear or White?

Pros and Cons and your preference

Clear ... Pros - Can see my tattoos more clearly Con - The adhesive doesn't feet the same. Can t wear it as long, and nbr of time removed seems fewer.

White ... Almost an exact opposite.

Figure I’ll put in some updates along the way.

So far so good! I put the transmitter on a little crooked but it has good signal.

The insertion site is not painful or sore. No signs of bruising.

Calibrations are going smoothly and appear just about spot-on between the Eversense and my G6 (see pics).

Hey everybody, I’ve been on the Eversense 365 since May and the past week or so I’ve noticed a wild amount of background battery drain but it was especially bad last night.

Last night while I was asleep the app/system ended up using 35% of my iPhone 15 Pro Max battery doing god knows what just in the background.

Does anybody have any potential fixes or also experiencing intense battery drain?

If any solutions please comment below. Thanks in advance.

Took about 20 minutes between the procedure and sensor / transmitter setup.

The NP had me lay down on a flat table after we talked / marked for placement. The site was cleaned and prepped, and then injected with lidocaine which took effect within a minute tops.

She made a small incision, formed a little pocket under the skin and placed the sensor. She then held wadding under pressure to the site for three minutes (I think to control bleeding), cleaned it again, placed the Steri-Strips and a small Tegaderm with an absorbant pad over the top. I bruise like a peach as it is so it’ll be interesting to see it during healing.

We then took a few minutes to pair the transmitter and then pair the sensor, once paired the app showed a countdown time for when the initial 24-hour warm-up time is done and I can begin the 4 calibrations over the 24 hour period next. She then took some adhesive wrap and compressed the entire upper arm over the sensor area to help prevent too much blood from pooling around it (she said too much pooling hinders the warm-up and initial healing process). I can take that off later tonight.

The provider was awesome, said she’s been doing more and more of them - one woman was ahead of me and she had several more lined up for the day. She is happy to see them being adopted.

Didn’t (and don’t as of yet) feel a thing. I do believe the lidocaine has worn off at this point. Very happy with the process! 😜

I went with the Eversense because I also wanted to replace my out-of-warranty pump with the twiist and was super excited the two worked together.

As can be guessed our insurance (currently) does not have a contract for pharmacy formulary for the refill kits and they are TOO expensive to pay out-of-pocket for at this time. I’ve been quite a long time out of warranty, and the pump is starting to have some errors that my spouse and I are both concerned about could mean it’s on its last legs. Decision has been made to go with a competitor pump that does not (again, currently) offer Eversense CGM compatibility. Maybe down the road.

Gonna get it, get used to it, and use it for backup treatment decisions for all the MANY times my current CGM is 60+ or more points off. Crossing fingers that Eversense is adopted across other platforms.

Cheers!

I am getting inserted on July 6th. Been trying to get on Eversense for a while. I was hyped when they announced it will work with twiist.

My insurance - Blue Cross Blue Shield has been a huge pain getting approved. There was no Eversense rep in my area either for a while. I did appeals, went through medical and pharmacy. I’ve been trying to piece it together without luck.

With the help of a local rep and her team they went did more appeals. After that did not work, they started to look for clinics that will do insertions that take my insurance.

Just found out they have a clinic that’s 3 hours away from me and will do it all costing me $10. Best advice - talk to a local Eversense rep if and when they are available.

WellDoc has been chosen as app development partner for Senseonics, but what are the key functions we absolutely want to see them enable for the app and missing today?

Many of us have gone through years of struggle with the poor native apps we got from Dexcom, Medtronic and Abbott and their sensors. Often going with 3rd party apps instead to really getting what we want/need. So hope we will see more rich and relevant functionality from Senseonics for the use with our Eversense sensors.

Hey everyone

​

Long story short, is think hitting my arm/having tape over the transmitter during a workout caused some kind of scar tissue - potentially- near the sensor, or damaged the sensor, and i am having a replacement done today.

​

My other arm is tattooed. Id prefer not to use that arm.

Should I go into the same hole/location on my current arm/where the sensor currently is?

​

Has anyone had one placed on their thigh?

​

Curious your opinions.

​

Id prefer to go right back into where the current one is, but not sure if that would work well due to the issue with this one.

​

Love it.

I keep having reading consistently 30-40 points off. Earlier today my sensor said I was in the 50s when I was in the 90s, in the 250s when I was in the 200s, and currently it’s reading 137 and my finger sticks checked in at 166 and 171. I haven’t checked with a finger stick in a few days since I hadn’t had symptoms that felt off until today with the false low the system showed so I’m not sure exactly when these way off readings started. I just calibrated 30mins ago and my sensor went up to reading 142 even though the calibrated number I put in was 170. Have you all experienced the same thing? Should I calibrate it again?

Ok, so it's been a year now since I have had my E365 and I went this morning to have my new one inserted. They are unable to find anyone certified to remove my old sensor though and they said they would contact me when they found someone.

I came home and took a nap and when I woke up I just happened to look at the arm that has my year old sensor still in my arm and I noticed it was bleeding! The exact spot where the sensor is under my skin! This is the old sensor site-not the one that was inserted today-that's on the other arm.

Has anyone else had that happen? It's making me think that the old sensor is trying to migrate its way out!

I called Eversense and they had no clue what was happening and had no suggestion as to what to tell me to do other than they would be actively trying to find someone in my area to remove the old sensor soon.

Anyone have any idea what is going on here?
