Telehealth Approach to Enhancing Glycemic Control

February 14, 2025 updated by: White Plains Hospital

A Multifaceted Telehealth Approach to Enhancing Glycemic Control and Reducing Readmissions in a Diverse Diabetic Population: A Randomized Control Trial

This study evaluates whether the use of a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) device combined with a Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) program can improve blood sugar control and reduce hospital visits among patients with poorly controlled diabetes who have recently been discharged from the hospital.

The study, led by White Plains Hospital (WPH) Cares, will follow 208 patients for 90 days after their discharge. Half of the participants will receive standard care, while the other half will receive a Dexcom G7 CGM device along with support from trained nurses who will monitor their glucose readings daily. The goal is to determine whether this approach helps lower Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, reduces hospital readmissions, and improves overall health outcomes.
