Here’s the one post I remember someone saying they’ve used the 365. Has anyone tried Senseonics CGM sensor? - #12 by halprewitt Someone else who tried the 90 day replied in the same thread.
Insertion doesn’t require “their people” but does require a visit to a doctors office.
The transmitter has a rechargeable battery that lasts for a day and a half so you are pulling it off for a 15 minute charge and put on fresh adhesive. Each 365 sensor comes with a new transmitter.
I’ve seen the adverse event reports about broken sensors so it does happen. I wouldn’t worry about it getting smashed, if you are hit that hard you’ll have bigger problems to worry about.
As for coverage you’ll have to look in your Tricare EOB. Any chance you have Tricare plus Medicare? Medicare will cover it but if you go that route getting a doc to do just the insertion and send you back to your VA endo might be a problem.
