Interventions
All participants will be issued with the Dexcom G6 device. The trial team will buy the readers or smartphones and sensors and provide the participants with all the necessary equipment. Participants will be shown how to wear the Dexcom G6 device, which they will be asked to wear for up to 10 days (=the lifespan of one sensor). There will be no change in the standard care of the participants' diabetes management, during the study period.
