Condition
Diabetes
Intervention
Following a 20 day masked (baseline) period using the Freestyle Navigator subjects will be randomised into one of 3 groups for the next 80 days:
1. The first group will wear the FreeStyle Navigator for the remaining duration of the study
2. The second group will wear the FreeStyle Navigator with glucose alarms switched off
3. The third (control) group will manage their blood glucose with standard SMBG and use a FreeStyle Navigator masked for two, 20-day periods between 40 to 60 days and 80 to 100 days
For all 3 groups, subjects will complete Quality of Life Questionnaires and have HbA1c measurements at both baseline and day 100.
