Use of glucose sensors for post-discharge care triaging of insulin-treated patients with type 2 diabetes: a feasibility study.

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.

Effectiveness of a locality-based integrated diabetes care service on clinical outcomes.

Background: Diabetes management often requires close cooperation between primary and specialist services, but a range of challenges in Australia and elsewhere make seamless care difficult.

Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness of a new locality-based integrated diabetes care service for people with Type 2 diabetes in an inner regional area.

Methods: A quasi-experimental evaluation comparing baseline and follow-up clinical data collected from general practices and specialist services participating in an integrated diabetes care programme in an inner-regional area.
