Estimating the term…
A blood glucose sensing system includes a sensor and a sensor electronics device. The sensor includes a plurality of electrodes. The sensor electronics device includes stabilization circuitry. The stabilization circuitry causes a first voltage to be applied to one of the electrodes for a first timeframe and causes a second voltage to be applied to one of the electrodes for a second timeframe. The stabilization circuitry repeats the application of the first voltage and the second voltage to continue the anodic-cathodic cycle. The sensor electronics device may include a power supply, a regulator, and a voltage application device, where the voltage application device receives a regulated voltage from the regulator, applies a first voltage to an electrode for the first timeframe, and applies a second voltage to an electrode for the second timeframe.
A method of stabilizing a glucose sensor having a plurality of electrodes for measuring a patient's glucose level, the method comprising:(a) applying a voltage to one of the plurality of electrodes for a first predetermined time period, said voltage having a magnitude of 0.535 volts, 0.7 volts, or 1.07 volts;
