Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Study design: open-label, mono-centre interventional study. Patients will wear freestyle Libre for 14 days in the home setting. There will be no limitations in food intake or in physical activity, but patients will have at least 7 finger-stick/days. Patients will have 2 visits in our clinical center and in these visits we'll compare freestyle Libre values with blood sampling to determine glucose values with YSI, during euglycemia and during glucose excursion and induced hypo-hyperglycemia.
Study population: 48 patients will be included in this trial. Every patient will wear device for 14 days at home and during 2 visits at CRC Study endpoints: main endpoint will be the evaluation of freestyle Libre accuracy during real life compared to glucometer values and to YSI glucose values (during 2 visits). A separate analysis will be performed on the accuracy of the freestyle Libre in the hypoglycaemic (defined as a blood glucose value ≤3.9 mmol/L) and hyperglycaemic area (defined as a blood glucose value ≥10.0 mmol/L). Additionally, a separate analysis will be performed to assess device performance and accuracy per day of device life.
If patients enrolled in the study use Dexcom G4 or G5 (CGM) and wanted to continue to use it, he/she can do so. In this case we can compare the accuracy of Libre even towards Dexcom G4/G5 device.

flash glucose monitoring
Patients will use a device: Freestyle Libre for 14 days
flash glucose monitoring
Patients will use Freestyle Libre for 14 days at home, during this period they will have to perform at least 7 measurements of capillary blood glucose per day . Patients also will go to our clinical center on two separate occasions , to run a test breakfast. In one of the two occasions it will be specifically induced a moderate initial hyperglycemia and subsequent hypoglycemia . During the test meal and in the subsequent hours for a total of 6 hours , will be carried out frequent blood sampling for measurement of blood glucose using the Yellow Springs glucose analyzer ( YSI system ) , simultaneous measurements with Freestyle Libre and with glucometer.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus type 1 ( diagnosed according to World Health Organization criteria ) for at least one year

* Signature of informed consent before any study-related procedure
Exclusion Criteria
* Known allergies to patches or skin disinfectants used during the study.
* skin lesions, irritation, redness, edema, in the possible application of the sensor sites that may interfere with the placement of the device or the detection accuracy of test results.
* blood donations in the 3 months preceding the study.
* Use of drugs that can interfere with glucose metabolism (such as steroids) unless it is chronic therapies whose dosage has remained stable over the last 3 months and is expected to remain stable during the study period.
* serious medical or psychological conditions that in the opinion of the medical team could compromise patient safety during study participation.
* Patients enrolled in other clinical trials.
* known disorders of the adrenal glands, pancreatic tumors, or insulinomas
* Inability of the patient to comply with the study procedures
