- Device: FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System
Subjects will wear the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System and will receive no treatment except for safety purposes.
- System Performance [ Time Frame: Up to 14 days ]
System performance will be characterized with respect to YSI reference venous plasma sample measurements for subjects aged 6 and older. Capillary blood glucose (BG) reference will be used for subjects aged less than 6 years of age.
For subjects age 6 years and older, point accuracy of the system will be evaluated as the proportion of System readings that are within ±20% of the YSI reference value for YSI glucose levels ≥ 80 mg/dL and within ±20 mg/dL for YSI glucose levels <80 mg/dL. For subjects of age less than 6 years, ages 4 and older the system will be evaluated as the proportion of System readings that are within ±20% of the BG reference value for BG glucose levels ≥ 80 mg/dL and within ±20 mg/dL for BG glucose levels <80 mg/dL.
- System Related adverse device effects [ Time Frame: up to 45 days ]System will be characterized by Adverse Device Effects and Serious Adverse Device Effects experienced by study participants.
