Summary
This program will provide patients with type 1 and high risk type 2 diabetes the safest hospitalization by using wireless continuous glucose monitoring devices (CGM) to track their glucose parameters in real-time similar to other continuously monitored vital signs. The CGM will inform a team of health professionals who will monitor the patients' progress, communicate recommendations, and be available for discussion when recommended targets are not achieved. Health teams will utilize sensor results in addition to existing electronic medical records data to evaluate progress and manage care.
