Subjects with diabetesDIDGET (Investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System)Subjects with diabetes (or parents/guardians, if applicable)and healthcare professionals (HCPs) use a new blood glucose monitoring system. Subjects were 4 to 24 years of age with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent of Blood Glucose (BG) Results Within +/-15mg/dL or +/-20% of Laboratory Glucose Method1-2 hours

Subjects with diabetes and healthcare professionals (HCPs) used a new blood glucose monitoring system (BGMS) with subject blood. BGM results were compared to a lab glucose method - Yellow Springs Instrument (YSI) Analyzer. Duplicate BG results were used to calculate the number of BG results within +/-15mg/dL (for reference BG results \<75mg/dL) or +/- 20% (for reference BG values \>/=75mg/dL) of the reference method results.
