CGM to Aid Transition From Inpatient to Outpatient

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabete Mellitus

In brief

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. 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. How often does the additional continuous glucose data change inpatient care? 3. Does this technology work with inpatient nursing workflow? 4. Does leaving the patch on at discharge and reading in the office improve transition of care? 5. Does reading the patch after discharge in the office improve follow-up care?
