[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2145031, member: 475037"] Eversense is the name of the one that's implanted under the skin. It has a removable transmitter. Each sensor is good for 3 months and it vibrates so you feel the alerts. The sensors themselves are fairly cheap. However a doctor or someone on staff has to be "trained" to be able to implant each sensor. I just can't see wanting, even if it's small, to have my skin cut open to insert a sensor every 3 months. A person that is testing it seems to be happy with it though. UPDATE The Eversense has a European version that the sensor is good for 6 months. Plus it might only be the US that requires a certified physician to implant it. Unknown about the European version but the American one HAS to be calibrated twice a day within a certain time, You also have to charge it I believe daily.. [/QUOTE]
