ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

The use of glucose sensors to triage post-discharge follow-up was investigated among hospital inpatients with type 2 diabetes. Feasibility, utility and patient satisfaction with this model of care were studied. Feasibility was 36.5%, with 90/198 (45.5%) inpatients discharged with glucose sensors but 9.0% unable to use glucose sensors effectively. Follow-up plans were altered in 76.3% of the patients able to use the sensor technology. Patient satisfaction was high and was improved on follow-up after 6 months.
