Intervention Details:
    Device: FreeStyle Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitoring System
    Six x 5 day wears of the continuous glucose monitoring device. Two of the 6 wears will be using a masked device (1 at the start and 1 at the end of the study).
Detailed Description:

Study Overview This is a multi-centre pilot study across 6 study sites, recruiting 50 subjects. Each subject will use a FreeStyle Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitor for a period of 20 days at the start of the study, after which their Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) may recommend changes to their glucose management based on the CGM data. Subjects will then return to self-managing their diabetes with a blood glucose meter. After 2 months, subjects will use the FreeStyle Navigator for a further 5 days and review their results and glucose management with their HCPs. Subjects will again return to self-managing their diabetes with a blood glucose meter until the end of the study, when the last FreeStyle Navigator 5 day wear is completed and HbA1c and measures of glycaemic variability are recorded.
