## *Eversense* E3 & 365 CGM
63+
![img/eversense.png](img/eversense.png){width="150"}
64+
65+
Both the Eversense E3 (90 days & 180 days) and the Eversense 365 (full year) transmitters are supported, on an experimental branch feat/eversense.
66+
67+
Eversense E3 & 365 are implantable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems with a sensor inserted under the skin and a removable on-body transmitter that sends real-time glucose data and alerts to the *Loop* app.
68+
Unlike traditional CGMs that require frequent sensor changes, Eversense reduces insertion frequency but requires regular fingerstick calibrations.

### Eversense E3/365

!!! warning "You must build feat/eversense branch to use the Eversense CGM"
158+
The Eversense CGM is in feat/eversense (as of version v3.11.0) and is experimental as of now
159+
160+
!!! warning "Wait till initialization phase is completed"
161+
During the initialization phase of this system, the glucose reading might be incorrect.
162+
Before using automated insulin delivery, be sure to complete the initialization phase using the original Eversense app.
163+
164+
!!! warning "Do not use the Eversense app and the *Loop* app concurrently"
165+
The transmitter is not able to multiple connection to the same device, due to the security protocol.
166+
Make sure you either use the Eversense app or the *Loop* app, but not both at the same time.
167+
168+
The Eversense plugin for Loop, [EversenseKit](https://github.com/loopandlearn/EversenseKit), connects directly to your transmitter for glucose reading and alert notifications.
169+
This makes the use of the Eversense app obsolete, after the initialization phase, and should not be used while having the transmitter paired to the *Loop* app.
170+
171+
The pairing process of both transmitters are simple:
172+
173+
* For the Eversense E3, select the correct transmitter name (see SN at the bottom of your transmitter) and accept the iOS pairing prompt (if shown) and wait till the pairing has completed
174+
175+
* For the Eversense 365, you are required to have an internet connection and Eversense account during pairing. This is needed to fetch the security keys for your transmitter. After logging in, select the correct transmitter name (see SN at the bottom of your transmitter) and accept the iOS pairing prompt (if shown) and wait till the pairing has completed
