Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Aim of the study is to evaluate efficacy of freestyle Libre system (flash glucose monitoring) in real life in term of Glycated Haemoglobin reduction and acceptance of the system evaluated through validated questionnaires after 3 and 6 months of device's use.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Freestyle Libre is a new technology developed to monitor glycemic values in diabetic patients.

The system is available in Italy from 2014 but in Veneto region reimbursement for insulin treated diabetic patients is available from august 2017.

International trial (for example Impact trial) demonstrated efficacy of the system (reduction of the time spent in hypoglycemia).

Aim of this study is to evaluate efficacy in real life in term of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction. The investigators will enrollee in this trial all type 1 diabetic patients that will start to use the system, on the basis of clinicians decisions and reimbursement criteria.

Investigators will evaluate changes in HbA1c and changes in hypoglycameia fear and therapy acceptance through validated questionnaires after 3 and 6 months of system use

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Male and female participants of at least 18 years of age
* Diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus (diagnosed according to World Health Organization criteria) for at least 1 year
* Availability to wear Freestyle Libre sensor
* Signature of informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

* Pregnancy, breastfeeding, intention to undergo pregnancy
* Known allergies to skin patches or disinfectants used during the study.
* Skin lesions, irritation, redness, edema in sites where sensors can be applied, as this might interfere with sensor's placement
* Use of drugs that may interfere with glucose metabolism (such as steroids) unless they are chronic therapies whose dosage has remained stable over the past 3 months and is expected to remain stable during the study period.
* Severe medical or psychological conditions, which, in the opinion of the medical team, may compromise patients' safety while using freestyle LIbre sensor
* Patients enrolled in other clinical trials.
* patients that usually wear other continuous glucose monitoring system
