Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. The accuracy of the system will be measured for the duration the subject is wearing the device (up to 14 days). Each blood glucose result recorded on the reader will be paired with the nearest Sensor glucose result. 2. The safety of the device in the diabetic population sub-group will be measured using the number and percentage of participants experiencing adverse events during the study from the point of consent until the end of the study.
