Multiple electrode system for a continuous analyte sensor, and related methods

A continuous analyte sensor, comprising:

• a first wire comprising a first working electrode;
• a second wire comprising a second working electrode;
• an insulating layer electrically insulating the first wire from the second wire;
• a conductive layer at least partially surrounding the insulating layer;
• a first window exposing a first area of the first wire that is electrically connected to the first working electrode and configured to electrically connect with sensor electronics;
• a second window exposing a second area of the second wire that is electrically connected to the second working electrode and configured to electrically connect with the sensor electronics;
• and
• an opening electrically isolating a first portion of the conductive layer adjacent the first area of the first wire from a second portion of the conductive layer adjacent the second area of the second wire.
