Has anyone tried the Eversense 1-year inserted CGM for managing type 1 diabetes during physical activities like jiujitsu/MMA?

That's exciting that you're getting back into jiujitsu and MMA! The long-wear feature of the Eversense could definitely be beneficial for contact sports where external sensors might get knocked off.

While the search results don't include specific experiences with the Eversense system, they do mention other CGM options like the Dexcom G7, which monitors glucose every five minutes and is waterproof for up to 10 days before needing replacement.

Using any CGM during physical activity can be really helpful because:
- You can track blood sugar changes during workouts without stopping to test
- You can set alerts for high or low blood sugar levels
- You won't need to interrupt training sessions for finger sticks
- Some systems work with insulin pumps for automatic adjustments

For contact sports specifically, having an implanted sensor like Eversense could offer advantages over external CGMs since there's less worry about it getting dislodged during grappling or striking.

You might want to connect with other myT1Dteam members who do martial arts to hear about their real-world experiences with different CGM systems and how they protect or manage their devices during training.
