About

The purpose of this clinical investigation is to provide pilot clinical data to direct pivotal study development for the pediatric indication of the Senseonics Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGM) measurements when compared with finger stick blood glucose monitoring in an outpatient setting. (The investigation will also evaluate safety of the Senseonics CGM System usage, get feedback regarding subject and caregiver acceptability of the device and the mobile medical application (MMA).

Full description

This is a non-randomized, non-blinded, prospective, single-arm, single-center pilot study, enrolling up to 15 pediatric subjects in two cohorts (5 subjects age 6-12 and 10 subjects age 13-17) with diabetes mellitus for up to 180 days. Study will evaluate the system at home with comparison to SMBG with clinic check visits and downloading of stored data every 30 days. Subjects will have one Sensor inserted subcutaneous by trained Investigators. The System will be set to provide real-time glucose information, including alarms and alerts in the home settings. The system is for adjunctive use. All diabetes care decisions will be based on SMBG values rather than System CGM results.

Enrollment: 15 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 6 to 18 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
