Clinical Trial 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

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	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	Percentage of Patients That Discontinue the CGM	Discontinuation rate, measured by percentage of patients that discontinue the CGM at 6 months with wearing device, use, costs, getting refills, etc.)	At 6 months
Secondary	Mean Time in Range Outcomes	Mean and SD of Time below target, in target and above target at 1 month and 3 months	At 1 month and 3 months
Secondary	Mean Change in Self-efficacy at 3 Months	Using the Diabetes self-management Questionnaire (DMSQ), the investigators will measure the mean change and SD in the score (pre- and post- intervention); score is 0-48, higher scores mean a better outcome	Baseline and 3 months
