Abstract: A glucose sensor includes a working electrode configured to provide a current signal (IsigWE1) based on a level of glucose, a background electrode configured to provide a current signal (IsigWE2) based on a presence of an excipient of insulin, and a controller. The controller is configured to monitor the IsigWE1 at the working electrode, monitor the IsigWE2 at the background electrode, monitor at least one electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) parameter at the working electrode, and calculate a change in the at least one EIS parameter, detect presence of the excipient of insulin based on the change. In a case where the presence of the excipient of insulin is detected, the controller is further configured to compensate the IsigWE1 based on a predetermined relationship between the IsigWE1 and the IsigWE2, and output the compensated IsigWE1 (IsigCOMP).

Abstract: The invention provides a skin adhesive patch that inhibits skin irritation by releasing an anti-inflammatory agent such as a corticosteroid topically on the skin surface. Embodiments of the invention can be adapted for use with a wide variety of adhesive patches that are used to couple medical components to the skin of patients such as the devices that diabetic patients use including insulin infusion sets, patch pumps, and all-in-one patch sets.

Abstract: An example method for initializing a glucose sensor includes executing an initialization sequence for the glucose sensor, wherein the initialization sequence is based on one or more of parameters related to manufacturing the glucose sensor or environmental conditions of the glucose sensor that are present in vivo, and reporting glucose levels in a patient after the initialization sequence.
