Hall et al. has conducted this study in 20 patients with type 1 diabetes assess the accuracy and acceptability of FSL-CGM at alternative sites (back and chest).

They compared the varaibility compared to venous glucose following standard meal, during and after exercise and after skin cooling. The accuracy of back sensor was 97.9% and chest sensor was 98% compared to arm.

1) Could CGM be a better gold standard than arm sensor - please discuss in manuscript

2) How was the sample size of 20 individuals was determined to be sufficient for stability of estimates of variance - please discuss.
