NCT03155594

Brief Summary

A pilot study using the FreeStyle Libre to assess its potential benefits in patients with diabetes starting when they are inpatients and continuing during the transition of care to the outpatient setting to see if diabetes care can be improved after discharge. This study is designed to address the following questions:

  1. 1.How do the glucose readings from FreeStyle Libre Pro compare to our inpatient glucometer system? Is the system is accurate enough to use for clinical decision making?
  2. 2.How often does the additional continuous glucose data change inpatient care?
  3. 3.Does this technology work with inpatient nursing workflow?
  4. 4.Does leaving the patch on at discharge and reading in the office improve transition of care?
  5. 5.Does reading the patch after discharge in the office improve follow-up care?

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes in care

    Each day a clinician from the Diabetes Service sees a patient in the hospital or office setting after discharge, they will download the information in the sensor patch. The clinician will note on the data collection sheet if the additional information changed the care compared to the information available from the hospital and patient glucose testing.

    2 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Accuracy of device

    2 weeks

Study Arms (1)

Single arm

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in this trial will receive a FreeStyle Libre patch that continuously measures glucose in addition to their standard glucose monitoring.

Device: Freestyle Libre

Interventions

Continuous glucose monitoring patch

Single arm
