Inclusion Criteria:

1. Has Type 2 diabetes on insulin therapy for ≥ 6 months and on their current regimen for ≥3 months prior to study entry.

2. Their insulin management must be one of the following;

   1. an injection regimen of prandial insulin at least once daily,
   2. or, prandial insulin at least once daily plus basal insulin at least once daily,
   3. or, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) with no plans to change during the study.
3. HbA1c result ≥7.5% (58 mmol/mol) and ≤12.0% (108 mmol/mol) on entry to the study.
4. Reports self-testing of blood glucose levels on a regular basis equivalent to a minimum of 10 tests per week, for at least 2 months prior to study entry.
5. In the investigator's opinion the subject is considered technically capable of using the Abbott Sensor Based Glucose Monitoring System.
6. In the Investigator's opinion the subject is proactive and therefore willing to modify their diabetes management
7. Aged 18 years or over.

Exclusion Criteria:
