Overview
This is a prospective, single arm, open-label, interventional, pilot study to evaluate the accuracy and precision of the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system of i-SENS, Inc., CareSens Air 3, in adult patients with type 1 diabetes.
Description
Participants will wear two CareSens Air 3 and one Libre 3 Plus for 16 days without access to glucose values from the CareSens Air 3 devices while maintaining their original diabetes mellitus treatment. The participants will draw capillary blood at least 8 times a day using the SMBG system between study visits.
Between insertion and removal of the CareSens Air 3 the participants will be in the clinic 4 times to obtain accurate glucose reading from the reference device under carefully controlled circumstances including induction of low and high blood glucose.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adults who are 18-65 years of age, inclusive

- Patients who voluntarily decide to participate in the study and provide written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- The following abnormal skin or skin diseases or skin alterations at the CGM sensor attachment or insertion site: Severe psoriasis, recent burn injury or severe sunburn, severe eczema, severe scar, extensive tattoo, dermatitis herpetiformis, severe rash, Staphylococcus aureus infection.

- Patients with cognitive impairment or who are not suitable for this study or may be at increased risk associated with study participation in the opinion of the investigator.
