Hyperglycemia, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)
Conditions
Brief summary
This study aims to improve patient awareness of the utility of continuous glucose monitoring systems in blood glucose monitoring and to improve patient satisfaction regarding diabetes care, particularly in the matter of blood glucose monitoring, at the transitions of care from the inpatient setting to the ambulatory setting.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Questionnaire responses regarding patient satisfaction and opinion regarding use of continuous glucose monitoring system | From enrollment until follow-up telephone visit 2-3 weeks after discharge | Questionnaire responses regarding patient satisfaction and opinion regarding use of continuous glucose monitoring system: regarding how do subjects feel that using CGM impacted their glucose control on a scale of 1-5, with 1=strongly made it worse, 2=somewhat made it worse, 3=did not make it better or worse, 4=somewhat made it better, and 5=strongly made it better?; regarding what is the overall opinion of subject's experience with CGM use on a scale of 1-5, with 1=very negative, 2=negative, 3=neutral, 4=positive, 5=very positive. |
| Questionnaire responses regarding patient satisfaction and opinion regarding quality of diabetes care | From enrollment until follow-up telephone visit 2-3 weeks after discharge | Questionnaire responses regarding patient satisfaction and opinion regarding quality of diabetes care: regarding how do subjects feel that using CGM impacted the diabetes care overall on a scale of 1-5, with 1=strongly made it worse, 2=somewhat made it worse, 3=did not make it better or worse, 4=somewhat made it better, and 5=strongly made it better. |
| Questionnaire responses regarding patient familiarity with continuous glucose monitoring | From enrollment until follow-up telephone visit 2-3 weeks after discharge | Questionnaire responses regarding patient familiarity with continuous glucose monitoring: regarding degree of familiarity of CGMs in general and the different types of information provided by CGMs, what is the subject's familiarity on a scale of 1-5, with 1=very unfamiliar, 2=unfamiliar, 3=neutral, 4=familiar, 5=very familiar. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Degree of Average Change in Hemoglobin A1C from Start to End of Study | From enrollment until follow-up telephone visit 2-3 weeks after discharge | Degree of average change in Hemoglobin A1C from start to end of study |
| Degree of Average Change in Glucose Management Indicator (GMI) | From enrollment until follow-up telephone visit 2-3 weeks after discharge | Degree of average change in glucose management indicator (GMI) |
| Number of Participants with 30-day Readmissions Related to Glycemic Control | From enrollment until follow-up telephone visit 2-3 weeks after discharge | Number of participants with 30-day Readmissions Related to Glycemic Control (hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, or diabetic ketoacidosis) |
