Study population: Subjects aged 6-17 years, with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who currently perform capillary blood glucose (BG) testing at least four (4) times a day.

Brief summary: This study is a non-randomized, single-arm, multi-center study that is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring Systems in pediatric populations.

Detailed description: Up to 85 subjects will be enrolled at up to four (4) clinical research sites in the United States. Subjects will wear two Sensors. Each Sensor will have a paired Reader that will be given to the subject. All Readers will be masked during the study (i.e. subjects will not be able to view glucose results obtained from the Sensor on the Reader screen). Subjects will be asked to perform at least 4 capillary Blood Glucose (BG) tests per day using the primary Reader. Interstitial glucose readings from each Sensor will be obtained with the corresponding Readers immediately following each BG test. Subjects will be instructed to report any problems with the device. Subjects will make four (4) to five (5) scheduled visits to the clinical study site, including the Enrollment/Screening Visit (Visit 1). Based on the subjects weight, subjects will have up to two (2) in-clinic visits during which intravenous blood draws and YSI reference testing will occur.

Eligibility criteria: * Inclusion Criteria:

  * Subject must be at least 6 years of age.
  * Subject must weigh at least 26 kg (57.2 lbs.).
  * Subject must have a diagnosis of type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus
  * Subject must require insulin therapy through an insulin pump and/or multiple daily insulin injections (at least 3 injections daily).
  * Subject must be currently performing at least four (4) capillary blood glucose tests per day.
  * Subject is willing to perform a minimum of 4 finger sticks per day during the study.
  * Subject is willing to allow medical personnel to insert at IV catheter in the arm to allow for venous blood samples to be obtained per the study protocol.
  * Subject and/or guardian must be able to read and understand English.
  * In the investigator's opinion, the subject must be able to follow the instructions provided to him/her by the study site and perform all study tasks as specified by the protocol.
  * Subject must be available to participate in all study visits.
  * Subject must be willing and able to provide written signed and dated informed assent when appropriate.
  * Subject's parent, guardian or legally authorized representative must be willing and able to provide written informed consent.
* Exclusion Criteria:

  * Subject is 18 years of age or older.
  * Subject weighs less than 26 kg (57.2 lbs.).
  * Subject has known allergy to medical grade adhesive or isopropyl alcohol used to disinfect skin.
  * Subject is known to be pregnant or becomes pregnant during the study (applicable to female subjects only).
  * Subject has extensive skin changes/diseases at the proposed application sites that could interfere with device placement or the accuracy of interstitial glucose measurements. Such conditions include, but are not limited to extensive psoriasis, recent burns or severe sunburn, extensive eczema, extensive scarring, dermatitis herpetiformis, skin lesions, redness, infection or edema.
  * Subject is currently participating in another clinical trial.
  * Subject has had significant blood loss within 112 days (3.7 months) prior to the beginning of the study activities subjects.
  * Subject is anemic, defined as having hemoglobin levels below 11.5 g/dL for subjects aged 6-11 years old, less than 12.0 g/dL for subjects aged 12-15 years old, less than 12.0 g/dL for females aged 15-17 and less than 13.0 g/dL for males aged 15-171, or as determined by investigator.
  * Subject has X-ray, MRI or CT appointment scheduled during the period of study participation, and the appointment cannot be rescheduled for a time before study participation starts or after study participation ends.
  * Subject is unsuitable for participation due to any other cause as determined by the Investigator.
