Registration Number
NCT02230488
Lead Sponsor
Washington University School of Medicine
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess whether intensive case management interventions by a diabetes team, led by an endocrinologist and certified diabetes educator, can prevent \<31 day readmission in previously identified high risk patients with diabetes.The procedures of the study will focus on managing the patient's diabetes and diabetes education while in the hospital, decreasing the patient's risk for hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia in the hospital, and assist in the patient's diabetes management plan for a safe discharge.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Prevent <31 day readmissionThe length of time between hospital discharge and readmission 31 days

Primary outcome measure is to assess whether an intensive case management intervention by a diabetes team, led by an endocrinologist and a certified diabetes educator (CDE) , can prevent a \<31 day readmission in previously identified high risk patients with diabetes compared to standard/usual care.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
improve overall glycemic managementUpon the participant's consent (within 24 hours of hospital admission) to hospital discharge- the average length of stay is five days

To examine whether intensive case management intervention per endocrinologist and CDE during hospital stay prevents hypoglycemia \<70mg/dl, severe hypoglycemia \<40mg/dl, and improves overall glycemic management (100-180 mg/dl) compared to standard/usual care.
