Brief summary

To evaluate the point accuracy of the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System when used at home by pregnant women with diabetes.

Interventions

Subjects will wear the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System masked for 14 days. During these 14 days subjects will be asked to perform 4 blood glucose tests (pre-meals and before bedtime) per day. At the same time as the blood glucose test a sensor scan is performed.

Inclusion criteria

* Age ≥ 18 years * Type 1, type 2 or Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) (confirmed diagnosis via Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)) * Currently testing Blood Glucose(BG), on average at least 2 times per day * Participant is ≥12+0 weeks gestation with a singleton pregnancy * In the investigator's opinion, technically capable of using device

Exclusion criteria

* Concomitant disease or condition that may compromise patient safety including and not limited to; cardiac disease or event, sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, severe mental illness, known or suspected eating disorder or any uncontrolled long term medical condition * Currently receiving dialysis treatment or planning to receive dialysis during the study or, moderate to advanced nephropathy (serum creatinine ≥120 micromol/litre or total protein excretion exceeds 2 g/day or urinary albumin:creatinine ratio \>30 mg/mmol, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) may not be used) * Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) (in the previous 6 months) * Known (or suspected) allergy to medical grade adhesives * In the investigator's opinion the participant is unsuitable to participate due to any other cause/reason, considering guidelines (e.g. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and International Diabetes Federation(IDF)) for Diabetes in Pregnancy for HbA1c and Blood Pressure * Experiencing any of the following conditions for current pregnancy: * Pre-eclampsia * HELLP syndrome (haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelet count) * Prescribed Tocolytic drugs for treatment of preterm labour

Pre-assignment details

Eighty-three (83) participants were consented. Nine of the 83 participants withdrew from the study on or before Visit 1 and before the device was worn or used. All 74 participants that wore a sensor are included in the analysis.
