The goal of this clinical trial is to increase Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus knowledge and awareness among patients who present to the Emergency Department with hyperglycemia. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How do patients view their risk of developing type 2 diabetes based on their demographics and behaviors? * Does giving patient education increase patient knowledge, leading to healthier behaviors? Researchers will assess if the educational intervention increases diabetes knowledge and positive health behaviors among Emergency Department hyperglycemic patients. Participants will: * Receive the educational packet (intervention) alongside standard Emergency Care. * Take pre-survey at time of Emergency Department visit and post- survey two weeks later.
