The time of hospital discharge offers a unique opportunity to break through therapeutic inertia, offer diabetes self-management education, and institute an individualized treatment plan that promotes self-care and engagement and sets the patient up for success. However, the path to a successful discharge plan can be fraught with potential pitfalls, including lack of knowledge and experience with newer diabetes medications, costs, concerns over insurance coverage, and lack of time and resources. This presentation presents an algorithm to assist in selecting discharge regimens that maximize benefits and reduce barriers to self-care, as well as a framework for creating an interdisciplinary hospital diabetes discharge program.
