• Subject states that he/she has clotting or bleeding disorders
• If selected for continuous blood glucose monitoring, subject has skin lesions, hyperhidrosis, eczema, psoriasis, scarring, redness, infection or edema at the flash constant glucose monitoring application site(s) that could interfere with device placement or the accuracy of interstitial glucose measurements.
• If selected for continuous blood glucose monitoring, subject has an X-ray, MRI or CT appointment scheduled during the period of study participation, or another procedure that would require removal of the flash constant glucose monitoring sensor.
