Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

CKD must be present for at least 6 months. * HbA1c \< 12% based on a venous blood sample from the screening visit * Receiving treatment with an SGLT2 inhibitor and/or GLP-1 receptor agonist for at least 3 months, have been offered these therapies previously, or contraindication/intolerance to receiving these therapies * Willing to wear study devices and follow study instructions * Capable of giving an informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Type 1 diabetes * Current use of insulin pump * Current use of any closed-loop system * Alternative cause of CKD according to medical records such as polycystic kidney disease, glomerulonephritis, congenital urogenital tract diseases, etc. * Known or suspected allergy against insulin * Pregnancy, planned pregnancy, or breast feeding * Severe visual impairment * Severe hearing impairment * Two or more episodes of severe hypoglycemia in the last 6 months * Medically documented allergy towards the adhesive (glue) of plasters * Serious skin diseases located at places of the body, which potentially are possible to be used for localisation of the glucose sensor * Any physical/psychological disease or medication(s) likely to interfere with the conduct of the study and interpretation of the study results, as judged by study clinician * Recent (less than three months) history of myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction * History of renal transplantation requiring ongoing immunosuppressive therapy * Known or suspected non-compliance, drug or alcohol abuse * Inability to follow the procedures of the investigation, e.g. due to language problems * Incapacity to give informed consent * Contra-indication to undergo MR-imaging according to a standard checklist such as the presence of a pacemaker or other implanted metallic device or severe claustrophobia. * Subject refuses to be informed of incidental findings related to their health discovered during imaging or other study-related exams * Participation in another investigation with an investigational drug or another MD within the 30 days preceding and during the present investigation * Previous enrolment into the current investigation * Enrolment of the PI, his/her family members, employees and other dependent persons
