Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an electronic order template for basal-bolus insulin will improve mean blood glucose in hospitalized general medical patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study randomly assigned internal medicine residents to use an electronic insulin order template plus basal-bolus ordering education versus education only. For all patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes treated by these physicians, mean blood glucose, rate of hypoglycemia, and rate of sliding scale insulin use were measured.
