A prospective multi-centre, open-label, two arm, parallel design, superiority, pragmatic, randomised controlled trial, over an 8-month period. The purpose of this study is to determine whether continuous glucose monitoring using FreeStyle Libre 3 will improve HbA1c compared to SMBG over 16 weeks in adults with sub-optimally controlled (HbA1c 7.5-11%) Type 2 diabetes on basal therapy.
The study will assess change in HbA1c as the primary endpoint. Other endpoints related to glycaemic control are included in the analyses. The study is split into two phases each of four months duration: participant-driven (phase 1) and HCP/therapy-driven (phase 2). Participants will be randomised to either FreeStyle Libre 3 or to continuation with their current SMBG device.
