Brief Summary:
This clinical trial studies the effect of a continuous glucose monitor application in improving outcomes in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes and active cancer. Patient satisfaction with type 2 diabetes management influences medication-taking behavior as well as health outcomes. Adding continuous glucose monitor application to diabetes treatment plan after hospital discharge plan may improve patient satisfaction and reduce diabetes distress.
Detailed Description:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Evaluate if addition of continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to diabetes treatment plan following inpatient hospitalization is associated with improved patient satisfaction with DM management in patients with cancer and poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Evaluate feasibility of CGM initiation upon hospital discharge. II. Evaluate effect of CGM on recognition of post-hospitalization hypoglycemia. III. Evaluate patient reported outcome of CGM incorporation into patient diabetes care burden.
IV. Evaluate effect of CGM on depression score before and after CGM use.
OUTLINE:
Prior to hospital discharge, patients receive CGM application and education on how to apply the CGM, and how to use the sensor and its associated smart phone application (app). Patients also receive basic diabetes mellitus education. After hospital discharge, patients use CGM for up to 28 days.
