Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the Abbott Sensor Based Glucose Monitoring System on hypoglycaemia compared to Self Monitoring Blood Glucose (SMBG) testing using a randomised controlled study design in adults with Type 1 diabetes using insulin.

  • Currently receiving dialysis treatment or planning to receive dialysis during the study
  • Has a pacemaker
  • Has experienced an acute myocardial infarction within previous 6 months
  • Has a concomitant disease or condition that may compromise subject safety including; unstable coronary heart disease, cystic fibrosis, serious psychiatric disorder, or any other uncontrolled medical condition
  • Has experienced an episode of confirmed or suspected diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in the previous 6 months
  • In the investigator's opinion, the subject is considered unsuitable for inclusion in the study for any other reason.
