Primary outcome measure is to assess whether an intensive case management intervention by a diabetes team, led by an endocrinologist and a certified diabetes educator (CDE) , can prevent a <31 day readmission in previously identified high risk patients with diabetes compared to standard/usual care.

To examine whether intensive case management intervention per endocrinologist and CDE during hospital stay prevents hypoglycemia <70mg/dl, severe hypoglycemia <40mg/dl, and improves overall glycemic management (100-180 mg/dl) compared to standard/usual care.

to assess whether intensive case management intervention by a diabetes team , led by an endocrinologists and a CDE, can improve patient's overall satisfaction.

The research participant will be given a brief satisfaction questionaire at the time of discharge.
