The Eversense sensor is implanted under the skin, so you can be discrete when needed. Paired with the Medtronic pump, you have the ability to easily dose your insulin as needed.

Priorities

Comfort

  • Longest lasting sensor
  • Sensor needs to be changed by your doctor
  • Largest pump
  • Tubed pumps have the most infusion sets to pick from

    • Active Lifestyle

  • Because the sensor is under your skin, it won't get dislodged if it gets bumped
  • Optional settings for exercise to adjust treatment ranges for activity with the press of a button

    • Avoiding Highs and Lows

  • Only sensor that vibrates on your skin to alert for high or low blood sugars; alerts work even when smart phone isn't close by
  • Pumps allow different amounts of basal insulin at different times of day and very precise dosing

    • Easy to Use

  • Sensor transmitter must be charged every day
  • Sensor changes far less often than other types, but your doctor must do it
  • Supplies for this pump are the most widely available

    • Easy Insulin Dosing

  • Can use sensor trends for dose adjustment
  • More customizable dosing than pens or syringes

    • Fewer Fingersticks

  • Daily fingersticks needed to calibrate sensor

    • Privacy

  • Ability to see sugar on watch or phone
  • Sensor not movable on body
  • Sensor requires regular meter use
  • Pump has tubing

    • Wisdom

    Hear what others who use this device combo have to say

    The combo is pretty private.

    My pump has a clip attached and I wear it on the waist band of my pants. If wearing a dress or if I want the pump to be invisible, I wear it in my bra. It's not as easy to bolus, but it does work.

    I can take the sensor and pump off when I play soccer - its fine for me to go an hour without insulin.

    Questions for your Doctor

    Can I try this before I commit to it?

    A lot of provider offices have sample devices you can touch and feel to get a sense of how they work. Some offices even have a trial device you can use for week to see how it works for you.
