SYNERGY PLUS: Evaluation of Next Generation Sensors (NGS) and Algorithm in Patients With Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes

May 28, 2025 updated by: Medtronic Diabetes
The purpose of this study is to find out how well a new continuous glucose monitor works for people with diabetes. This study will test the performance of the study sensor(s) for 7-14 days of wear in patients who are 11-80 years old with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
