Brief Summary
The purpose of the BRIGHT study is to evaluate safety and performance of the HALO SYSTEM in subjects with diabetes mellitus. The primary objectives of this clinical investigation are 1) the evaluation of sensor's performance by demonstrating sensor's accuracy and stability and 2) to confirm safe implantation of the Sensor and safety of the device during implantation.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
Primary performance objective: Demonstration of Sensor accuracy
Evaluate the accuracy of the Algorithm with an in-factory-calibrated on-sensor model used by the Sensor to generate blood glucose, ketone and lactate concentration values by comparing these values to those of a venous blood reference method and develop an upgraded Algorithm to increase the accuracy of the HALO System by off-sensor model optimisations, using real-time insights and historical experimental data.
3 months
Primary performance objective: Demonstration of Sensor stability
confirm the accuracy of the Algorithm for glucose, ketones and lactate throughout 3 months of implantation, compared to blood reference measurements using an in-factory-calibrated on-sensor model AND using an optimised off-sensor model.
3 months
Primary safety objective: Confirm safe implantation of the Sensor in human subcutaneous tissue (insertion procedural safety)
Incidence of Sensor insertion procedure-related SAEs within 30 days from implantation.
30 days
Primary safety objective: Confirm the safety of the device during the implantation period
Assessment of device-related AEs during 3 months of implant use and all SAEs collected throughout the study.
3 months
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Secondary performance objective: Assessment of procedural success for the implantation and explantation procedure
30 days
Secondary performance objective: Confirm safe explantation of the Sensor from human subcutaneous tissue (removal procedural safety)
14 days
Other Outcomes (2)
Exploratory study objective: Compare daily measurement performance to the participant's standard CGM system.

Study Arms (1)
The HALO System
EXPERIMENTALInterventions
The FUSHO3 sensor, which is part of the HALO System, is a continuous multi-metabolite monitoring (CMM) sensor which is a miniaturized near-infrared spectrometer that measures the absorption of light in the interstitial fluid to quantify the concentration of multiple metabolites
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Willing to sign an informed consent form
- Age ≥ 18 years
- Willing to comply to study protocol requirements (study visits with frequent venous blood sampling and deliberate insulin, glucose, ketone and lactate challenges)
- Willing to charge the SENSOR on daily basis
- Willing not to insert their standard CGM and/or insulin pump in and around the SENSOR implant site (± radius 5 cm)\[TS\| XR1.1\] Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus according to the World Health Organization criteria, for at least 12 months prior to screening, on CSII therapy
You may not qualify if:
- Known allergy to polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)
- A contraindication to undergo challenging tests (i.e., ischemic heart disease, epilepsy, panhypopituitarism, hypoadrenalism, untreated hypothyroidism)
- History of hepatitis C or HIV or other disease transmissible by blood
- A condition requiring or likely to require magnetic resonance imaging during the study duration
- Female participants who are pregnant, planning on becoming pregnant or nursing
- Coagulation disorder, wound healing and bleeding disorder or taking anticoagulant medication (oral anticoagulants; antiplatelets (such as aspirin, ticagrelor are allowed).
- Anemia identified by a haemoglobin \<14 g/dL for men or \<12 g/dL for women
- The presence of any other active implanted device
- The presence of any other CGM sensor/pump located in the lower abdomen (other location is acceptable)
- Waist circumference of \>120 cm
- Any disorder, which in the investigator's opinion might jeopardise participants' safety or compliance with the protocol.
