Using a prospective, mixed methods study design, the investigators will assess the feasibility, usefulness, and care team acceptability of CGM in conjunction with FSBG during implementation of the new subQ DKA/HHS protocol at Regions Hospital. This will include evaluating how many patients agree to have a CGM device placed, time to place the CGM devices, CGM impact on length of stay, level of care required, frequency of alerts to changing glucose levels events, and assessing the match between CGM and FSBG readings done in the inpatient setting. Results will help inform cost effective, safe, patient-centered strategies, while gauging care team satisfaction to optimize DKA and HHS management in the future.
