Glucose Readings
Q. Why is my sensor reading dierent from my blood
glucose meter reading?
A: The Eversense CGM System measures glucose in
interstitial fluid (ISF) between the body’s cells.
Physiologic dierences between ISF and blood
from a fingerstick may result in dierences in
glucose measurements. These dierences are
especially evident during times of rapid change in
blood glucose (e.g., after eating, dosing insulin, or
exercising), and for some people, during the first
several days after insertion due to inflammation that
may result from the insertion procedure. On average,
glucose levels in ISF lag behind glucose levels in
blood by several minutes. Until you are aware of
what these dierences are, confirm sensor readings
with a fingerstick blood glucose check. Also, if
your symptoms do not match the sensor glucose
readings, you should confirm with a fingerstick
blood glucose check.
Q: I am getting “-- -- --” in place of sensor glucose
readings on the app.
A: You may not get any sensor glucose readings
when there is no connection between your smart
transmitter and your sensor or smart transmitter and
mobile device.
You may also not get any readings when one of the
alerts below is activated:
• No sensor detected.
• Out of Range High or Out of Range Low Glucose
Sensor reading.
• Low Sensor Temperature.
• High Ambient Light.
• Sensor Check.
• High Smart Transmitter Temperature.
• High Sensor Temperature.
• Empty Battery.
• Calibration Past Due.
• New Sensor Detected.
• Sensor Replacement.
• Calibration Expired.
• Smart Transmitter Error.
• Sensor Suspend Alert.
Please follow the instructions provided in the
notification message to clear the Alert.
