1. A glucose sensor system for monitoring glucose concentration in a biological sample of a host, the system comprising:

  • a continuous glucose sensor configured to produce sensor data indicative of a host'"'"'s glucose concentration, wherein the continuous glucose sensor comprises a sensing region and a sensing membrane located over the sensing region, and wherein at least a portion of the continuous glucose sensor is configured for transcutaneous implantation; and

    an electronics module configured to receive sensor data from the continuous glucose sensor, the electronics module comprising a processor configured to calibrate sensor data received from the continuous glucose sensor for a first time period so as to generate real-time glucose readings from the sensor data and the calibration;

    wherein the electronics module is further configured to detect an approaching clinical risk and to determine whether there is a possibility of avoiding the clinical risk when an approaching clinical risk is detected, the approaching clinical risk detection comprising predicting a potential glucose concentration for a second time period based at least in part on calibrated sensor data;

    wherein the system is configured to trigger a user perceptible alert responsive to the detection of an approaching clinical risk.
