Frequently Asked Questions

GlucoSensor is for everyone who lives with diabetes type 1 or 2 or has an increased risk of this. Only a small proportion of diabetic patients are eligible for reimbursement. GlucoSensor offers a good and affordable solution for other diabetics.

If the GlucoSensor™ CGM system shows abnormal values, you should always check with a finger prick or a traditional blood glucose meter.

With CGM, your blood sugar level is continuously measured by a sensor. With FGM you have to measure your blood sugar yourself by scanning. You can read an extensive analysis of the differences in our blog.

In the Netherlands, a distinction is made between two types of glucose sensors: Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) and Flash Glucose Monitoring (FGM).

The GlucoSensor™ system includes two sensors, each lasting for 10 days. To understand the ongoing cost of replacing them, consider the price per sensor. You have two subscription options available: a monthly subscription at 37,50 euros per sensor or a 3-month subscription at 33,25 euros per sensor. The starter kit is priced at 84,50 euros.

Yes, the GlucoSensor™ CGM is certified CE-approved.

The GlucoSensor™ CGM system has a water rating of IPX7, meaning it is waterproof and can withstand incidental exposure to water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. When showering, it’s important to avoid applying shower gel directly on the CGM adhesive pad to maintain its adhesive strength. Consider using an overlay patch to reinforce adhesion if needed. If moisture enters between the sensor and transmitter, detach the transmitter from the sensor to wipe and retry the connection.

Exposure to chlorine could significantly increase the risk of the CGM becoming detached. This could for example be found in swimming pools or jacuzzis.

The GlucoSensor™ CGM system is approved for children of the age of 14 and over.

We know from our own experience how important a CGM system can be for good diabetes management, understanding, and well-being. Therefore, we are starting by helping the large group of people with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes who do not qualify for reimbursement of CGM sensors by their insurance and thus have to pay for them out of pocket. Our goal is to achieve this by offering our GlucoSensor™ sensors at an extra advantageous price. After our launch in May/June, we will also engage in discussions with insurers to explore the possibility of them reimbursing our sensors in the near future.

In the Netherlands, only a small proportion of diabetics are eligible for reimbursement for a CGM system. Discuss this with your doctor or diabetes nurse.
