Study Arms (2)
FreeStyle Libre
EXPERIMENTALFreeStyle Libre for 4 weeks. All subjects will wear a masked sensor (FreeStyle Libre Pro) for 14 days prior to randomisation.
SMBG
ACTIVE COMPARATORSubjects randomised to the control group will monitor their blood glucose with standard blood glucose meters. A 14-day FreeStyle Libre Pro is included for these subjects from day 14 to day 28 to collect glycaemic data for comparison to the intervention group of the study. All subjects will wear a masked sensor (FreeStyle Libre Pro) for 14 days prior to randomisation.
Interventions
FreeStyle Libre, 4 weeks
