They have a tiny filament under the skin containing enzymes that react with glucose; this reaction generates an electrical current which the sensor converts to glucose levels. Data is transmitted (often via Bluetooth) to a paired app.

o Displays current glucose and trends (rising/falling)
o Logs related factors like meals, exercise, sleep, etc.
o Generates AGP (Ambulatory Glucose Profile) or other summary reports over various time spans (7, 14, 30, 90 days) for analysis.

o Stores past data securely in cloud so you can access historical readings.

o SIBIONICS reports a MARD (Mean Absolute Relative Difference) of ~8.7% in children/adolescents (ages 3–17), ~8.83% in adults (18+).
o Trends (direction, rate of change) are generally reliable even if absolute values can occasionally differ.
o If readings don’t match symptoms, a confirmatory blood glucose test (finger-stick) is advised.

o People with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes (in various regional age categories; SIBIONICS specifies from age 3 in some countries, from 18 in others).
o Also useful for anyone who wants metabolic health insights (though SIBIONICS seems focused on “diabetes management” as per its claims).

o SIBIONICS GS1 sensors are designed to last 14 days before needing replacement.
o After the warm-up period (about 1 hour) readings begin.

o SIBIONICS claims its applicator has a dual-spring design, which helps reduce pain, speed up insertion, and generally make wearing more comfortable.
o Best practice for placement: upper back of your arm (fatty part), bending arm toward you during insertion. Avoid extending arm straight to reduce potential discomfort or bleeding.

Yes — though there are limits:
o The sensor is water-resistant: can bathe, shower, swim.
o But do not submerge deeper than ~1 meter (≈3 feet), or stay underwater for more than 1 hour.
o Physical activity is allowed.

Yes. The SIBIONICS GS1 CGM has EU MDR CE certification (certified in 2023).

o The SIBIONICS app stores data from past sensors in a cloud system.
o You can generate AGP (Ambulatory Glucose Profile) and other reports selecting data over windows like 7, 14, 30, or 90 days.

o After initial “warm-up” (≈ 1 hour), glucose readings update every ~5 minutes.
o Communication between sensor and app is via Bluetooth, with a recommended proximity (~6 m or ~20 ft) without large obstacles.

o If readings don’t match how you feel (symptoms), do a blood glucose test.
o Remove sensor before MRI, X-ray, CT scan, or diathermy—medical imaging or treatments may interfere.
o The sensor must not be submerged deeper than stated or for longer periods or it may compromise function.

o In certain jurisdictions: ages 3 and older with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. In other places: 18+. Check country-specific indications.

To receive alarms, the app must run in background. Users can follow glucose trends over time, get alerting for highs or lows (depending on settings) in many CGM systems (SIBIONICS likely similar though explicit detail of alert thresholds etc. may be in supporting docs).

Key Takeaways Specific to SIBIONICS
• SIBIONICS’ GS1 CGM aims for painless, easy wear: dual-spring applicator, upper arm placement, 14-day duration.
• It offers high accuracy (moderate-good MARD ~8-9%) which is competitive.
• Certification (EU CE MDR) suggests regulatory compliance.
• Data features are robust: historical storage, report generation over several durations, Bluetooth update every 5 minutes.
• Some limitations/warnings: water depth/time limits, remove for imaging, check readings against symptoms, age restrictions vary by region.
