A Novel and Easy Method to Locate and Remove First Approved Long-Term Implantable Glucose Sensors

Eversense is a long-term implantable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system. Difficulty in locating and removing implanted sensors is one of the issues limiting its use. We propose using near-infrared (NIR) light to locate implanted glucose sensors. NIR light was used to locate implanted glucose sensors in 30 patients (age 18-62 years) with type 1 diabetes who use Eversense sensors for CGM. Duration of sensor implantation was 10-40 weeks...
