Research summary
The purpose of the study is to assess the accuracy of the Dexcom G6 CGM system and the Abbott FreeStyle Libre flash system compared to the reference standard YSI (Yellow Spring Instruments) glucose in people with diabetes undergoing haemodialysis. The Dexcom G6 is a continuous glucose monitoring system that gives blood glucose values in real-time and includes alarms if the glucose is very low or high. The Abbott FreeStyle Libre flash system is an intermittent glucose monitor that shows the blood glucose values when it is waved near the sensor and does not include alarms. The YSI glucose analysis will take place as a normal part of haemodialysis, by testing blood glucose levels during the haemodialysis session. The study will last 28 days per participant.
