Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Diabetes is a lifelong condition where the amount of sugar in the blood is too high. The aim of this study is to collect glucose data using the FreeStyle Libre Glucose Monitoring System from adults.

Who can participate?
Anyone aged 18 without diabetes or with type 1 or type 2 diabetes

What does the study involve?
Participants will wear up to four sensors for up to 14 days, after which sensors will be removed, and data uploaded. Each study event aims to recruit between 18 and 72 participants. Once a study event is complete another one commences, on a continuing basis. Each participant is in the study for up to 15 days.

What are the possible benefits & risks of participating?
There is no direct benefit to the participant by taking part in this study. The only risks associated with the study are from obtaining capillary blood samples, these are small but could include pain, bruising, local infection and fainting.

Where is the study run from?
Abbott Diabetes Care (UK)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
May 2020 to December 2031

Who is funding the study?
Abbott Diabetes Care (UK)
