Feasibility Study to Assess the Safety and Functionality of the GluSense Continuous Glucose Monitor in Diabetic Patients

Currently marketed CGM sensors have an approved functional lifetime of up to 1 week. Pre-clinical studies have demonstrated that GluSense-LTone 2e3 sensors may be used to accurately monitor glucose levels for 30 days. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and functionality of the device in human patients for consecutive 15 days.

GluSense-LTone 2e3 as long term CGM, will require less sensor replacements and calibration, meaning less patient interventions, and is therefore will be much more user friendly. Moreover, GluSense-LTone 2e3 shows potentially increased accuracy, especially in the critically important hypoglycemic range, meaning that better management of patient's condition may be attained.
