Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Glucose self-management is particularly challenging due to cyclical changes in insulin sensitivity and circulating insulin concentrations. Hypoglycemia is common due to impaired renal gluconeogenesis, malnutrition, and the increased half-life of insulin and hypoglycemic agents \[4, 5\]. Additionally, people with chronic kidney disease and diabetes may have other diabetes complications such as retinopathy, neuropathy, and impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia, which can make self-management more difficult.
Overall assessment of glycaemic control is also more complex as classical markers of glycemic control (i.e. HbA1c and fructosamine) may be misleading due to the variable underestimation of glycaemia resulting from analytical interferences, shortened half-life of red blood cells and abnormal albumin level \[6-8\]. Further limitations of HbA1c is that it is not informative regarding glycemic control on the days on and off dialysis, and intra-day glycaemic variability.
Frequent capillary blood glucose tests or self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is the traditional and one of the most effective ways to track an individuals' blood glucose levels. Real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has been shown to improve overall glucose control, reduce hypoglycaemia in people with an HbA1c \<7.0%, and may reduce severe hypoglycaemia \[9-11\]. In addition, they provide alert and alarm features for hypo- and hyperglycaemia, and for times of rapid glucose change.
Flash glucose monitoring does not provide real-time data with alerts and alarms, but allows users to retrospectively review the preceding 8 hours of continuous glucose data, along with a contemporary estimated blood glucose value and trend line. The system consists of a subcutaneous sensor placed on the back of the upper arm, which measures glucose in the interstitial fluid every minute. The glucose data are made available when the user chooses to swipe the reader over the sensor.
CGM has the potential to reduce HbA1c and minimize exposure to hypoglycaemia while addressing diabetes distress. Flash glucose monitoring may reduce exposure to hypoglycaemia in people with insulin-treated diabetes.
The accuracy of CGM and flash in people with diabetes on haemodialysis has not been described. In this clinical study, the investigators will assess the accuracy of the Dexcom G6 CGM system and the Abbott FreeStyle Libre flash system compared to YSI (Yellow Spring Instruments) glucose in people undergoing haemodialysis.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Dexcom G6 and Abbott Freestyle Libre
Participants will have a Dexcom G6 sensor and Abbott FreeStyle Libre sensor inserted in the abdomen and upper arm respectively. Participants will be asked to swipe the FreeStyle Libre reader across the sensor a minimum of every 8 hours. Participants will be asked to continue their usual regimen of self-monitoring capillary blood glucose (SMBG).
During haemodialysis, a dialysis circuit blood sample will be drawn at 0 (pre-dialysis) 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210 and 240 minutes and immediately after dialysis. Samples from the circuit will be analysed on the YSI glucose analyser. Participants will be asked to change the FreeStyle Libre sensors at day 14. The blinded CGM data will be uploaded at the time of each sensor change by the research team.
