1. A device for measuring a glucose concentration in a host, the device comprising:

  • a sensor operably connected to an electronic circuit and configured to continuously measure a signal associated with a glucose concentration in a host; and

    a membrane located over at least a portion of the sensor, wherein the membrane is configured to control a flux of oxygen and glucose, wherein the membrane is configured to use oxygen from a biological fluid surrounding the membrane to catalyze a reaction of glucose and oxygen, and wherein the membrane comprises a silicone-containing polymer;

    wherein the device is capable of exhibiting, at a glucose concentration of 400 mg/dL, no more than a 10% drop in sensor output over a range of pO2 from about 150 mm Hg down to about 30 mm Hg.
