Brief Summary

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
1\) Test the health impact of CGM of inpatients as defined by rates of hypo- and hyperglycemia and the derivative of time in appropriate glucose range. Forty (40) patients will be randomized 1:1 into one of two conditions. In the treatment condition, patients will receive a Dexcom Gen6 device and the clinical staff (i.e., nursing and medical staff assigned to the patient's care) will be trained to use readings from the Dexcom Gen6 for the management of the patient's glucose levels below 100. In the control condition, patients will receive a Dexcom Gen6 device, but the clinical staff (i.e., nursing and medical staff assigned to the patient's care) will not have access to the readings and will provide usual care (four glucose checks per 24 hours and use of insulin or other diabetic agent ordered by the admitting and rounding providers to determine glucose management).
1. Hypothesis 1: Patients in the treatment condition will experience fewer episodes of hypoglycemia as compared to patients in the control condition as measured by the Dexcom Gen6 readings.
2. Hypothesis 2: Patients in the treatment condition will experience less frequent hyperglycemia events as compared to patients in the control condition as measured by the Dexcom Gen6 readings.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control Group
Control Group subjects will wear the CGM device during their hospitalization, up to 10 days, but glucose readings will NOT be continuously monitored. Control Group subjects will have their glucose management guided by routine standard of care finger sticks. The readings from the CGM device are recorded and reviewed retrospectively, but not used for glucose management during the hospital stay.
Dexcom Generation 6 CGM (Dexcom Gen6) device
Standing orders for blood sugars less than 100 will allow for administration of glucose replacement in the intervention group based on Dexcom Gen6 readings.
Treatment Group
Treatment Group subjects will wear the CGM device during their hospitalization, up to 10 days, and glucose readings WILL be continuously monitored. Treatment Group subjects will have their glucose management guided by readings from the CGM device and standard of care finger sticks.
Dexcom Generation 6 CGM (Dexcom Gen6) device
Standing orders for blood sugars less than 100 will allow for administration of glucose replacement in the intervention group based on Dexcom Gen6 readings.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Subjects 18 years of age or older with diabetes.
* Subjects willing to avoid using high dose acetaminophen (defined as greater than 4 gm per day)
* Subjects with expected hospital length-of-stay of 2 or more days beyond the time of enrollment.
* Subjects willing to wear CGM device.
Exclusion Criteria
* Subjects with greater than 4gm use of Tylenol/24 hr.
* Surgical patients or patients with pre-planned surgery or procedure in the next 48 hours.
* Subjects with acute illness admitted to the ICU or expected to require admission to the ICU.
* Patients who may potentially require IV insulin.
* Patients with skin lesions, severe psoriasis, burns, tattoos, scarring, redness, infection or edema at the application sites that could interfere with device placement or the accuracy of interstitial glucose measurements.
* Patient with a known allergy to medical grade adhesive or isopropyl alcohol used to disinfect skin.
* Patients who have had organ transplant.
* Patients with any severe medical conditions such as end-stage renal disease on dialysis, status post renal transplantation, end-stage liver disease with diffuse anasarca, heart failure on inotropic support, Ejection Fraction (EF) \< 15 % or severe sepsis.
* Any condition for which, in the opinion of the investigators, it would not be in the best interest of the participant.
* Legally protected subjects (under judicial protection, guardianship, or supervision), persons deprived of their liberty, mental or language barriers rendering the subject unable to understand the nature, scope and possible consequences of the study.
* Subjects with active substance abuse.
* Subjects with infaust prognosis.
