1. A glucose sensor configured for implantation in a host, the glucose sensor comprising:
an ex vivo portion and an in vivo portion, wherein the in vivo portion comprises:
a reference electrode disposed at least in part on the in vivo portion of the glucose sensor,
an electrode comprising a plurality of electroactive surfaces each configured to measure a signal indicative of a glucose concentration of the host, wherein the signal comprises a glucose-related component and a non-glucose related component, wherein the plurality of electroactive surfaces comprise a first electroactive surface, a second electroactive surface, and a third electroactive surface spaced along a length of the in vivo portion;
an enzyme configured to react with glucose; and
a membrane covering at least a portion of the electrode and the enzyme, wherein the membrane comprises an outer domain formed from a blend comprising at least 5 wt. % of a hydrophilic component,
wherein the first electroactive surface, the second electroactive surface, and the third electroactive surface share a central axis, wherein the central axis is an axis of sensor insertion.
