The Eversense sensor is implanted under the skin, so you can be discrete when needed. Paired with the Tandem pump, you have the ability to easily dose your insulin as needed. The Tandem pump also allows you to bolus directly from a compatible iOS or Android smartphone.

*You will need an iPhone to use the Eversense sensor.

Priorities

Comfort

  • Longest lasting sensor
  • Sensor needs to be changed by your doctor
  • Smallest tubed 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
  • Don't need to find a place for pump in active wear

    • 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
  • Rechargeable pump battery
  • Pump has touchscreen

    • 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
  • Touchscreen of pump looks like normal tech device
  • Ability to bolus directly on compatible smartphone

    • Wisdom

    Hear what others who use this device combo have to say

    I watch the info and data day-to-day, but I leave most of the evaluating to my doctor.

    My tandem I wear on my hip - most people don’t notice it. They notice my Eversense most often and I just explain what is it. I would rather be honest then let people guess on their own.

    The more you wear them, the more integrated they become in your life.

    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.
