Summary

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to implement the DM Discharge Toolkit into hospital discharge and assess the effect of the DM Discharge Toolkit on patients newly requiring insulin.

Detailed description

This study is a randomized controlled trial with a parallel group design of up to 120 study participants in a 1:1 ratio to receive either current standard of care discharge DM training (control) or current standard of care discharge DM training and the DM Discharge Toolkit (intervention) before or immediately after being sent home to assume self-DM care with insulin.

Conditions

• Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
• Insulin Dependent Diabetes

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
