1. A combined device comprising:
an analyte sensor, the analyte sensor comprising a sensor probe;
an infusion set hub, the infusion set hub comprising a cannula; and
a flexible base, wherein the analyte sensor and the infusion set hub are indirectly attached to the flexible base, via a unitary piece of material that comprises a first connector, a second connector, and perforations formed between the first and second connectors, such that a movement of one of the analyte sensor and the infusion set hub does not cause a movement of the other one of the analyte sensor and the infusion set hub, wherein:
the analyte sensor and the infusion set hub are permanently attached to a respective one of the first and second connectors;
the first and second connectors are releasably attached to the flexible base to facilitate detaching of the first and second connectors from the flexible base; and
the combined device is modular in that either one of the analyte sensor and the infusion set hub can be replaced without having to replace the combined device, by pulling apart the first and second connectors at the perforations.
