Intensive Case Diabetes Management to Prevent Readmission of Previously Identified High Risk Patients

day readmission in previously identified high risk patients with diabetes.The procedures of
the study will focus on managing the patient's diabetes and diabetes education while in the
hospital, decreasing the patient's risk for hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia in the hospital,
and assist in the patient's diabetes management plan for a safe discharge.
