Continuous Glucose Monitoring for High-Risk Type 2 Diabetes in the Hospital (Cyber GEMS)

Description

Given the known serious consequences of uncontrolled blood sugars during hospitalization, this research plans to study an alternative seamlessly integrated continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system in the hospital to test a dynamic and digitized, team-based approach to glucose management in an underserved and understudied, yet high-risk population. A digital dashboard will facilitate real-time, remote monitoring of a large volume of patients simultaneously; automatically identify and prioritize patients for intervention; and will detect any and all potentially dangerous hypoglycemic episodes in a hospital environment. The study will focus on clinical metrics of glucose control and infection that are in-line with patient priorities and US hospital quality initiatives.
