Diabetes Mellitus | Device: FreeStyle Libre 3 |
Up to 100 subjects will be enrolled at up to six (6) clinical research sites in the United States. Subjects will wear two Sensors. Each Sensor will have a paired Reader that will be given to the subject. Subjects will be asked to perform at least 4 capillary Blood Glucose (BG) tests per day using the primary Reader.
Interstitial glucose readings from each Sensor will be obtained with the corresponding Readers immediately following each BG test. Subjects will be instructed to report any problems with the device. Subjects will make up to six (6) scheduled visits to the clinical study site, including the Enrollment/Screening Visit (Visit 1). Based on the subjects' age and
/or weight, subjects will have up to three (3) in- clinic visits during which intravenous blood draws and YSI reference testing will occur.
