1. A method of stabilizing a glucose sensor having a plurality of electrodes for measuring a patient'"'"'s glucose level, the method comprising:

  • applying a first stabilization voltage to one of the plurality of electrodes to initiate an anodic cycle in the sensor, said first stabilization voltage being between 0.8 volts and 1.34 volts;

    applying a second stabilization voltage to said one of the plurality of electrodes to initiate a cathodic cycle in the sensor, said second stabilization voltage being between 0.235 volts and 0.835 volts;

    repeating, for one or more iterations, the application of the first stabilization voltage followed by the application of the second stabilization voltage until a measured electrical characteristic of the sensor meets a predetermined criterion which indicates sensor stabilization;

    measuring the patient'"'"'s glucose level with the electrodes, and beginning to use said measured glucose levels of the patient'"'"'s glucose level after the sensor is stabilized.
