1. A method for measuring a sensitivity change of a glucose sensor implanted in a host over a time period, the method comprising:
- measuring a first signal in the host by obtaining at least one glucose-related sensor data point, wherein the first signal is measured at a glucose-measuring electrode disposed beneath an enzymatic portion of a membrane system on the sensor; and
measuring a second signal in the host by obtaining at least one non-glucose constant data point, wherein the second signal is measured beneath the membrane system on the sensor; and
monitoring the second signal over a time period, whereby a sensitivity change associated with solute transport through the membrane system is measured.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for calibrating a continuous analyte sensor, such as a continuous glucose sensor. One such system utilizes one or more electrodes to measure an additional analyte. Such measurements may provide a baseline or sensitivity measurement for use in calibrating the sensor. Furthermore, baseline and/or sensitivity measurements may be used to trigger events such as digital filtering of data or suspending display of data.
