Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Intervention
FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System

Subjects will wear the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System masked for 14 days followed by 8 weeks unmasked wear.

During the 2 weeks of masked device wear participants will use the BG strip port for self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). Scanning the sensor at least every 8 hours during this phase.

Followed by 8 weeks of unmasked device wear when participants will use the device (Sensor glucose and SMBG) according to labelling for their day to day management.
