Both the Eversense E3 (90 days & 180 days) and the Eversense 365 (full year) transmitters are supported with v3.14.2 or newer of the *Loop* app.

6967
Eversense E3 and 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.
7068
Unlike traditional CGMs that require frequent sensor changes, Eversense reduces insertion frequency but requires weekly fingerstick calibrations.

Eros pods (also known as Gen 3 or Classic) were launched in 2013 and continue to be sold by Insulet in some countries. Insulet stopped providing Eros pods in the US end of December 2023. As far as we know, there are no timelines announced for the discontinuation of Eros pods for other countries. Insulet doesn't specifically call these "Eros" anymore, they just use the term "Omnipod system". For clarity, from [Insulet's webpage](https://www.omnipod.com/discontinuation):

The patch pump is 13.8gram, 40.5mm X 31.5mm x 11.5mm, making it the smallest and most discreet patch pump on the market as of now.

It uses a steel cannula, instead of the Teflon cannula of the Omnipods, with a virtually painless insertion.

Medtronic will not typically sell pump supplies directly to customers who have not previously purchased a registered Medtronic pump. Ask your insurance about purchasing pump supplies through a durable medical equipment (DME) provider. Typically, the DME provider will coordinate with your insurance and doctor's office to get the necessary insurance approval and prescriptions for the supplies. If you are brand new to Medtronic infusion sites, you may want to ask for help from friends to try a variety of infusion sets before purchasing a full 90-day supply of any type in particular.
