So glad you like it 👏🏽

Yeah, I see being able to take it off at any time as an upside as well. And a 1-year version would be interesting

That’s an interesting question. I wonder if they’d pick up the doctor bill if a sensor fails. And I don’t know the answer to that

They even plan on having once a week finger stick calibration with their future sensors

@@205.BRABUS Bro I think me and you are on Stocktwits together 😂😂😂

@@j2ruflipr lmaooo yup that’s me on there😅💪

Libre piece of pure garbage so is their c service, found g6 dexcom much more reliable. Im still on the hunt for an infra red sensors. Willing to invest commercially.

I've been on Eversense for a couple of years and have also tried dexcom and I think Eversence is by far superior not only the environmental waste that every 14-day plunger which is ridiculous but the accuracy and reliability of the Eversence E3 180 is off the charts in my opinion I can take it off and put it back on without costing me one penny as much as I want The only one that you can do that with and now all insurance companies as far as I know it do cover it and it also has an on-body alarm which again is the only sensor in the world that has that feel free to ask me any other questions if you like GL

@@KrackerJack5586 I haven’t heard a word about the failure rate. I too had so many problems with the G7 staying on regardless of where I insert it. Currently on vacation and brought 3 with me for 14 days. Have one left 😒 Do you have problems with it failing and if so, what do you do?

Yes, resistance training is not an issue once it's healed. And you're right, all in the perspective

With the dexcom and freestyle Libre you don’t have to stick yourself at all unless you have to just check accuracy

Excellent question. Also if the sensor cannot be worn during a MRI session?

Ok, frustrating you haven’t heard back… I wonder if they’re being flooded with requests. Let us know if they end up reaching out (I’m just being nosy 🙃). I found this language on their website about airport scanners: It is safe for you to wear your sensor and smart transmitter when you go through metal detectors at airports. While flying, the smart transmitter performs similarly to any other Bluetooth® device. Be sure to follow the specific safety guidelines mandated by the airline.

I also found this paragraph on the Eversense website about MRI: Non-clinical testing has demonstrated the Eversense® E3 Sensor is MR Conditional. A patient with this device can be safely scanned in an MR system meeting the following conditions: Static magnetic field of 1.5T or 3.0T Maximum spatial field gradient of 2000 gauss/cm (20 T/m). Maximum MR system reported, whole body averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) of 4 W/kg (First Level Controlled Operating Mode).

@@DiabetesStrong I would suggest then contacting the MRI testing facility before having this implanted for those of us that have this procedure done on a regular basis. These things don't come to mind until one is asked before having the procedure done which could affect a treatment decision. Thanks for doing the research. One thing I find annoying is that medical device providers frequently don't test these devices for X-rays (i.e.airport security) when it has been standard procedure since 2001!

@@dwightl5863 agreed! On both things you mention. At least this one is cleared for metal detectors

I don’t believe there’ll be pain after it’s healed, unless it gets infected of course. And I agree that it’s nice to be able to place Dexcom where I want. I have seen another Eversense user who gets the sensor inserted in other places than the arm, so I guess if the medical professional doing the insertion is up for it, you can have it placed on your torso as well

Their future sensors plan on having calibration once per week.

Eversense really has No pain as a topical anesthetic Lidocaine 10% (cream) is placed on the skin to numb the skin. But everyone is different (insertion should not hurt). I am a Registered Nurse of 38 years.

I love my Dexcom because I rarely have to calibrate it and don't have to go see a trained doctor to deploy the sensor for me. Plus it is not as invasive.

Gotta go replace my senaor!!!!!

Glad it was helpful!

That’s an excellent point!

I think the total cost here will depend on the type of insurance people have. My guess is that some will be able to get it at that cost here as well

That's the United States Healthcare System for you. Everything is exorbitantly expensive and can even vary from state to state...

Good question. Since it hasn’t been on the market that long that is something we’ll learn down the road I guess

Yes, every 5 minutes to either phone or watch

I was told by Eversense that you have to get updates on their website but that was quite some time ago.

I hear you

Glad it was helpful!

You’re welcome, thank you for watching

I hear you. Hope you’ll like the Libre 2

@Engelbert Humperdinck do you have personal experience with this, or any VA hospital? If you don't, I wouldn't be so very quick to smear the medical care that they're providing to tens of thousands of veterans in the greater Cincinnati area! The vast majority of caregivers, doctors, nurses, healthcare technicians across all the many departments go out of their way to give their very best to every veteran in their care! I say this having been treated in a number of VA hospitals and outpatient facilities. While I'll admit that the care I've received in some of them wasn't very good, that was usually the fault of 1 doctor, but sometimes it was a administration problem. I've received lifesaving medical care numerous times at different VA hospitals, and I honestly wouldn't be alive today except for that excellent medical care! Are you even aware of the incredible medical research being done in some of the VA facilities across the country? They're leading the nation in the care of people who have spinal cord disfunction, no matter if it's from disease or injury. They're also leading the way in research for the care of traumatic brain injuries. Medical school students and interns are seeing, and treating veterans with such a wide variety of medical issues, a variety that they'd seldom see in most civilian hospital rotations. Yes, the VA health care system, the largest health care system in the country, isn't perfect. Then again, there are a number of civilian hospitals who've had some serious problems, everything from malpractice, to personnel issues, and staff shortages. No system is perfect. At least the VA is trying very hard to correct the problems when they come up.

@Engelbert Humperdinck in other words, no, you don't have personal experience with the VA health care system! As for being able to sue for malpractice, that's not accurate, military personal and veterans can sue for malpractice. BTW, it sounds like you're bringing up cases that happened in the military health care system in response to my question to you about if you have personal experience with the Cincinnati, or any other VA health care system. It would appear that you're ducking my question.

BTW, just for the record, the ability to sue military physicians changed back in the late 80's. I don't remember the actual year, but I know it did, a couple years after I left the service, due to my service connected injury.

@Engelbert Humperdinck you're still dodging my question. I'm sick and tired of people who've no connection with the VA system, as a patient, or immediate family of such a veteran trashing the VA!!! You're not out to help make it a better system, just to trash it. Yes, mistakes have been made, but once again, show me another large health care system that hasn't at some point had such issues. As for USA Today, and other such news sources, they make big money with their sensational headlines, as the saying goes "if it bleeds, it leads". Now, since you've already proven my point, with your refusal to answer my 1 direct question to you, I'm done with this conversation. I will no longer feed the troll.

Yeah, it’s not as widely used as the other CGMs

probably because most people dont want an incision 2 to 3 times a year that could cause bigger problems. i definitely would never opt for this. too brutal.

Yeah, I find that the need to have access to a medical professional is a little problematic as well

The product was made about 10 yrs ago, they have Medicare approval, a little more accurate than Dexcom, but I hate Dexcom. Do you get teeth cleaned? Do you go to stores for shopping? Those are were you have a better chance of getting Covid.

The Apple Watch 7 series only measures heart rate, even the blood pressure feature isn't expected until 2024. I don't know if they have a promised date for potential blood sugar measurements

Glad to hear your happy with your Libre and getting that you don’t have to pay for it (!)

Fair points, and as you know I’m not up for more finger sticks either

Dexcom is more expensive than this. Only 2 sensors per year and soon to be just 1 with their next sensor. As well as once a week calibration in the future too.

Talk about this comment every 14 days then tell us how you feel .

I know what you mean
