Abstract

A monitor for determining analyte concentrations in vivo, includes a housing configured to adhere to the skin of a subject, an elongate sensor body configured to extend from the housing into the skin of the subject, an analyte sensing region positioned on the sensor body such that the analyte sensing region is configured to be held in the dermis of the skin of the subject, and at least one engagement surface configured to facilitate increased anchoring of the sensor body in the skin of the subject.
