NCT04854135

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to look at feasibility (the likelihood) of continued use of the FreeStyle Libre 2 Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) when started at the time of hospital discharge in patients with poorly controlled diabetes and to look at the effects of CGM use on blood glucose control and quality of life. Additional information will be collected to determine the barriers to continuing CGM use after discharge. The investigators will also collect information to see how well blood glucose has been controlled after discharge while utilizing the CGM.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To Determine the Feasibility of Initiating a Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Patients With Diabetes at Hospital Discharge

    Starting and continuing to use a CGM at this critical time is feasible. Feasibility is defined as at least 20 percent of patients with diabetes referred for diabetes education meet inclusion criteria to participate and at least 75 percent participate. From those who participate, at least 50 percent continue using the CGM at 3 months.

    At 3 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Percentage of Patients That Discontinue the CGM

    At 6 months

  • Mean Time in Range Outcomes

    At 1 month and 3 months

  • Mean Change in Self-efficacy at 3 Months

    Baseline and 3 months

Study Arms (1)

CGM Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

All eligible patients will receive a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) prior to hospital discharge after signing an informed consent.

Device: CGM4Home

Interventions
