Eversense 365: Pump Integration and Real-Life Use For the One-Year CGM
Diabetes Connections | Type 1 Diabetes
We've got an update on Eversense—the CGM that sits just below the skin and lasts a year. This is the first time we’re talking to the folks from Senseonics, the company that makes Eversense, since they spun off from Ascensia. What's changed? It’s also the first time, we’re talking to someone who uses Eversense with an insulin pump – it’s now compatible with the twiist pump.

Grownup T1Ds: The Missing Support for Adults Living with Diabetes
Diabetes Connections | Type 1 Diabetes
There’s a reason we don’t call it juvenile diabetes anymore. We all know you grow up and T1D doesn’t go anywhere, and that you can be diagnosed at any age. But it often feels like adults are forgotten. I hope that’s not the case here—but I hear it all the time in the broader community. Kelly Dawes is working to change that.

The available now treatment is Site Hero – a recovery patch to help sites heal.. and – for the future - a way to scan an area and help identify better injection or infusion sites at home.
