Eversense 365 and SweetSpot Integrate Software to Optimize Diabetes Care
Senseonics and Ascensia integrate software between SweetSpot and Eversense 365, the world's first and only One Year CGM system
SweetSpot partners with endocrinology practices to provide virtual CGM monitoring and enhanced patient care
GERMANTOWN, Md. and PARSIPPANY, N.J., Feb. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:SENS) and Ascensia Diabetes Care announce the software integration of SweetSpot™ with the Eversense® 365 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System in the U.S. This software integration provides endocrinology practices that partner with SweetSpot the ability to continue to improve patient care by seamlessly and regularly reviewing data from patients using Eversense 365, the world's first and only One Year CGM.
SweetSpot combines a centralized software platform for managing diabetes device data with wrap-around clinical support services. SweetSpot's virtual team of Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (CDCES) perform monthly CGM data reviews and coordinate with providers and patients on treatment plan assessment and changes. By developing an integration with Eversense 365, SweetSpot can work alongside practices to act on this unique system's CGM data in between patients' scheduled appointments, allowing for more personalized support. These regular data reviews help ensure patients get timely treatment adjustments, keeping them better connected to their diabetes care team year-round with a goal of improving glycemic control. Practices can also unlock new opportunities through SweetSpot's automated capture of reimbursable care events, making partnering with SweetSpot both clinically impactful and operationally efficient.
Eversense 365 is developed by Senseonics and brought to patients by Ascensia Diabetes Care, a subsidiary of PHC Holdings Corporation (TSE: 6523). As the only implantable CGM available, it offers patients a truly differentiated CGM experience, providing One Year of exceptionally accurate monitoring with minimal interruptions. It benefits endocrinologists and care teams by offering their patients confidence in decision-making, long-term peace of mind and enhanced quality of life with just one CGM. The unique approach also allows people to overcome common frustrations and interruptions experienced with traditional, short-term CGMs, so that patients can focus on managing their diabetes and not their CGM.
Dr Ralph Oiknine, Physician, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of SweetSpot, said: "SweetSpot removes all the barriers to implementing a strong, virtual CGM monitoring program for endocrinology practices and all providers involved in diabetes care. Our dedicated team is passionate about transforming how diabetes is managed – and making sure that no opportunities are missed to use the rich data from CGMs for improved care. This integration with Eversense reinforces SweetSpot's commitment to seamless diabetes management, driving better patient outcomes and practice growth for our partners by integrating more CGM options, such as the only implantable CGM on the market."
Mukul Jain, Chief Operating Officer of Senseonics, added: "We are pleased to enable integration with SweetSpot to help healthcare providers using the software platform to optimize care for patients using Eversense 365. Our CGM offers a completely fresh approach to diabetes management by collecting a whole year of glucose data with just one CGM. We continue to focus on bringing Eversense 365 to more people across the country and are excited to see how integrations like this can further enhance our compelling offering for patients and healthcare providers."
Dr. Jacob Vadakekalam of the Diabetes & Glandular Disease (DGD) Clinic in San Antonio, Texas, added: "As a doctor committed to providing the best care possible, I am pleased about the partnership between SweetSpot and Eversense. This collaboration represents a step forward in healthcare integration, and I believe it will have a positive impact on diabetes management for my patients here at the Diabetes & Glandular Disease Clinic and in turn minimizing future hospitalizations."

The systems are indicated for use to replace fingerstick blood glucose (BG) measurements for diabetes treatment decisions. Fingerstick BG measurements are still required for calibration primarily one time per week after day 13 for Eversense® 365 and one time per day after day 21 for Eversense® E3, and when symptoms do not match CGM information or when taking medications of the tetracycline class. The sensor insertion and removal procedures are performed by a health care provider. The Eversense CGM Systems are prescription devices; patients should talk to their health care provider to learn more. For important safety information, see www.eversensediabetes.com/safety-info/.
