1. A method for continuous glucose sensing, the method comprising:
- generating a glucose signal associated with a glucose concentration in a host using a continuous glucose sensor;
measuring a sensitivity change of the continuous glucose sensor over a time period, wherein the measured sensitivity change is not based on a reference glucose measurement from a reference glucose monitor; and
determining, using electronic circuitry, a stability of the continuous glucose sensor based on the measured sensitivity change; and
calibrating the glucose signal using the measured sensitivity change.

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.
