Study Summary

This study was designed to assess the effectiveness of the Glucowatch Biographer (GWB) a non-invasive CGM device developed by Cygnus. All subjects underwent a baseline analysis using the Medtronic CGMS monitor, then subjects were randomized into GWB (test) and control groups. At 3 and 6 month follow-ups, the participants again wore Medtronic CGMS devices for a period of a few days. At the end of the study duration, A1c measurements were used to compare the two groups.
