What this trial is about
Glucose monitoring is an important part of self-management for patients with diabetes. The results of glucose monitoring not only help to assess the degree of glucose metabolism disorders in patients, but also help physicians to make clinical decisions and guide patients in self-management. Despite extensive efforts and advances in diabetes management during hospitalization, glucose control after patients is discharged home remains a challenge. This trial aims to explore the effect of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) system compared to self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) group on glucose and self-efficacy of type 2 diabetes patients treated with insulin after discharge from the hospital.
