The Sibionics GS1 is a wearable continuous glucose monitoring system. It uses a sensor inserted under the skin (interstitial fluid) to track glucose levels continuously, transmitting readings to a phone app. It is designed for people with diabetes (Type 1 or Type 2) or others needing close glucose monitoring.
Key Features
Here are some of the major features of the Sibionics GS1:
Feature |
What It Means / How It Works |
14-day sensor life |
Once applied, the sensor lasts continuously for up to 14 days before needing replacement. |
Calibration-free |
The sensor comes factory calibrated; the user does not need to perform blood-finger-prick calibrations. |
No scanning required |
Data is transmitted automatically (via Bluetooth) every few minutes to the companion app — you don’t have to “scan” the sensor. |
Real-time readings; frequent data updates |
Gives you a reading every ~5 minutes (so ~288 readings/day). |
Customizable alerts / alarms |
You can set high / low glucose thresholds; app pushes alerts when values go outside those limits. Also there are trend notifications. |
Water-resistant / waterproof design |
The sensor is designed to withstand exposure to moisture — showering, sweating, etc. For example, IPX-8 rating (i.e. immersion up to 1 metre for up to 1 hour in some cases) or similar. |
Comfortable / discreet wear |
Slim profile, small/thin sensor; designed to be skin-friendly; overpatch available. Worn typically on the upper arm. |
Data sharing and reports |
Users can export AGP (ambulatory glucose profile) reports, share data with caregivers/health professionals, view trends over time. s |
Regulatory / safety credentials |
CE-mark (EU) for medical device use; factory calibration; intended for use in adults and children 3yo+) |
Recommended Users:
People with Type 1 diabetes who need tight glucose control, frequent monitoring, insulin adjustment, and want to reduce hypo/hyperglycemia risk.
People with Type 2 diabetes, especially those on insulin or at risk of fluctuations, or those who wish to reduce finger-prick testing.
Prediabetics or people monitoring glucose responses (e.g. after meals, exercise, etc.), who want real-time feedback to adjust lifestyle.
Caregivers / family members of people with diabetes (e.g. children, elderly) or people with reduced ability to self-monitor, so that someone else can see the glucose data or receive alerts.
Healthcare providers needing more detailed glucose trend data for better treatment planning—e.g. adjusting medication, diet, lifestyle interventions based on real-time data, not just occasional fingerstick or HbA1c.
People who value comfort, reduce pain / inconvenience (i.e. dislike finger pricking), or need something more “hands-off”.
Benefits Using Sibionics GS1 CGM can bring several benefits:
Better glycemic control Continuous data helps identify patterns: post-meal spikes, night-time lows, rapid changes. This allows adjustments to diet, insulin, activity to flatten peaks/troughs and improve overall glucose stability.
Reduced hypoglycemia / hyperglycemia episodes Alerts help warn you before you cross critical thresholds, so corrective action can be taken early.
Fewer painful finger pricks / higher compliance Because it's calibration-free and no scanning needed, you do less manual blood pricks, which many users find more convenient and less burdensome.
Improved quality of life Less worry about unexpected glucose swings; better sleep (less night-time concerns), more freedom (e.g. to exercise or take spontaneous meals).
More informed decisions With trend graphs, AGP reports, and the ability to share data with healthcare providers, the decision making (insulin dosing, meal timing, etc.) can be more precise.
Data-driven lifestyle changes Seeing how exercise, stress, food, sleep affect glucose in close to real time helps people modify their habits more quickly.
Cost-effectiveness over time Although initial cost might be higher than standard glucometers, fewer test strips, fewer complications (if management improves) can make CGM more economical in the long run.
