Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aim
The purpose of this study is to characterize the accuracy performance of different CE-marked CGM.

Who can participate?
Anyone aged 18 years or older with type 1or type 2 diabetes.

What does the study involve?
During this study adult subjects with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes will wear up to three sensors for a period of up to 31 days depending on each sensor's indications.
During the period of sensor wear participants will go about their normal daily activities while wearing the sensors. Participants will be asked to perform at least four Blood Glucose fingerprick tests per day (before meals and bedtime).

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The data collected in this study could contribute to increase the understanding of available devices to monitor glucose for people living with diabetes as well as giving more people the opportunity to experience the use of CGM devices.
There are small risks associated with use of any sensor device that punctures and adheres to the skin, these include erythema, oedema, rash, itching, bruising, pain, bleeding, induration and infection.
The study participants will perform blood glucose tests. Risks are small but could include pain, bruising, local infection and fainting caused by the lancet used to obtain a blood sample.

Where is the study run from?
The study is run by 2 sites in UK, MAC Clinical Research Glasgow and MAC Clinical Research Barnsley.

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
June 2024 to April 2035.

Who is funding the study?
The study is funded by Abbott Diabetes Care Ltd (UK).

Scientific titleCharacterisation of sensor accuracy performance for CGM systems
Study objectivesThe study aims to characterise the performance and collect safety data of different Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems in people living with diabetes. Results will be characterised in terms of point accuracy of each CGM system with respect to capillary fingerstick blood glucose values.
Ethics approval(s)

Approved 16/04/2025, Yorkshire & The Humber - Leeds West Research Ethics Committee (NHSBT Newcastle Blood Donor Centre Holland Drive, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE2 4NQ, United Kingdom; +44 207 972 25 04; leedswest.rec@hra.nhs.uk), ref: 25/YH/0073

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDiabetes mellitus
InterventionEach study arm will involve the use of CE-marked Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems. Adults with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes will wear between one and three sensors for a period of up to 31 days depending on each sensor's wear indications. During the period of sensor wear participants will go about their daily activities and will be asked to perform at least four Blood Glucose (BG) fingerprick tests per day. At Visit 2, sensors are removed, and adverse events are documented, if any.
Intervention typeDevice
Pharmaceutical study type(s)Not Applicable
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)CE-marked Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Systems
Primary outcome measureThe proportion of system readings that are within ±20% for glucose levels ≥70 mg/dL and within ±20 mg/dL for glucose levels <70 mg/dL compared to capillary fingerstick blood glucose (BG) values, over the duration of sensor wear
Secondary outcome measuresSafety outcomes (AEs/ DIs) will be recorded, over the duration of sensor wear
