The study is about using a device called a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system to help people with diabetes manage their blood sugar after leaving the hospital. Instead of pricking their fingers several times a day, participants will wear sensors under their skin for about 12-14 days, three times over 3 months. This sensor checks blood sugar automatically and can alert them if it gets too high or low.
**Key Points:**
- **Duration:** 12-week study with 4 in-person visits and 2 phone calls.
- **Participation:** Half of the participants will use the CGM system, while the other half will continue with the standard fingerstick method.
- **Eligibility:** Must be 18 or older, have type 2 diabetes, and be discharged on insulin therapy.
Researchers want to find out if the CGM system is safer and more effective than the fingerstick method for managing diabetes after hospital discharge.
People with certain conditions, like type 1 diabetes or those who can't wear the sensor, aren't eligible. Participants will help discover if the CGM reduces risks of low blood sugar better than the current method.
