The hypothesis of this study is that using hospital admission to identify patients with
poorly controlled diabetes (hemoglobin A1c levels >8%), and intervening during the
hospitalization with targeted inpatient diabetes management will improve glycemic control at
3 and 12 months, with inpatient glycemic control, quality of life, and diabetes
self-efficacy serving as secondary endpoints.
The study is a randomized, controlled trial of targeted inpatient diabetes management versus
usual care in 70 general medical and surgical inpatients over age 18 with type 2 diabetes
and hemoglobin A1c levels greater than 8% who are followed in Partners-affiliated primary
care practices. In addition, we will enroll a prospective chart review cohort matched for
age, sex, and HbA1c level whose course we will follow for one year after discharge to
determine the patter of glycemia among patients who are not enrolled in a clinical trial.
