Change to the Eversese sensor E3

Good afternoon sweets.

They want to change the free freestyle sensor 2 to the new Eversese E3 sensor.

What can you tell me?

Thank you!

Hi, @juanen

Did you find something about the sensor?I am also interested in, on Friday I had a course that is mandatory if you want the sensors to subsidize you.It was for free 2, but the nurse told me that she had an endocrine note to see if another wanted.The fact is that he did not know how to tell me the differences between one and the other and I do not remember the name 🤦🏻‍♀️.I don't know why they can be offering me that other ...

All the best!!

Good morning @Maguina.

EANSENSE E3:

· 6 month implantable sensor: is the only one that lasts 180 days.A doctor inserts him under the skin of the arm.

· Removable transmitter: It is placed on top of the skin and can be removed to swim or shower.

· Vibration alert: The transmitter vibrates directly on your arm to discover you discreetly/hyperglycemia.

· Very precise: It has an error rate (Mard) of 8.5%, one of the lowest in the market.

· Requires calibration: you need a puncture to calibrate it once a day after the initial period.

In summary: its great advantage is the very long duration and discrete vibration alerts.Its main disadvantage is that it needs medical insertion and a daily calibration.

But you also have to load the battery 🔋 15 minutes a day.

Well I don't know what decision I am going to make.

My endocrine wants to change it for accuracy and that does not go crazy in the abrupt climbs and described in chopped ...

We'll see 😏

Puff ... the insert under the skin, without having any idea, it sounds like a scalpel 🙈

I hope you do well, make the decision you make ☺️

Uff!Subcutaneous insertion, that hurts and much, also carries suture points and lots of scars over time.(I have a recent implant, free of 3, (a Port to Catch) and it has been a horror and still hurts days)

Yesterday I saw a girl with a transparent sensor, larger than Abbott's, is not marked, the same is the Dexcom.

I don't convince me, to have to operate every 6 months ... like that, no matter how accurate I have, they do not open me to me every 6 months or crazy.

I have been thinking for a few weeks that I hope there was a subcutaneous sensor ... I imagine that it will be something small that is inserted, contraceptive implant type that does not need points or anything.What does not convince me is that I need an exterior unit attached to the skin too and in the photo it seems giant 🙄 What nightmare 😔

@juanen: I don't know that sensor they offer you.I can tell you about Freestyle 3+ that suffers very few disconnections compared to 2 and is very accurate in measurements.Today, for example, the sensor marked 68 and in blood it was 72.

I think the sensors are going well whenever blood glucose varies slowly.When the ups or descent are abrupt (after eating, exercising, ...) is when I have observed that the differences between sensor and glucometer are greater.

My situation is a bit particular.Not having pancreas because of a total pancreatomy, and not being a diabetic to use, I suffer from extremely abrupt sugar.The problem is that the sensor I currently use, free freeyle 2, is blank many times, just when I need it.

My endocrine assured me that with this new sensor (Eversese E3)This would not happen.However, I don't know anyone to take him on to tell me his real experience and guide me a little.Does anyone have references? "
