The Feasibility of Using the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System During the Transition of Care (TOC) From Inpatient to Outpatient in Persons With Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) Using Basal/Bolus Insulin
The Feasibility of Using the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System During the Transition of Care (TOC) From Inpatient to Outpatient in Persons With Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) Using Basal/Bolus Insulin
Using the Libre during the TOC with persons with T2D will improve patient glucose monitoring and satisfaction, which can potentially lead to an improvement in glycemic control and hospital utilization. This study aims to assess this with inpatients using insulin.
Integrating the use of the Libre during the TOC will improve patient glucose monitoring and satisfaction, which can potentially lead to an improvement in glycemic control and hospital utilization. Inpatients admitted to the medical-surgical units would be considered based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. If the patient qualifies they would be consented to participate in the trial. In addition they would be given a script for refills. Primary outcome is change in HbA1c and secondary outcomes at baseline and 90 days include satisfaction, number of ED/inpatient visits, completion of follow-up appointment, and duration of CGM use.
