Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Glucose telemetry system (GTS): continuous glucose monitor-based in-hospital glucose telemetry system providing real-time high/low-glucose alerts to ward nursing staff, in addition to standard care.
The GTS will be comprised of a Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitor (CGM) applied to the patient; a CGM receiver (smartphone) by the patient bedside with the Dexcom Clarity app and Dexcom G7 app installed and connected via Bluetooth to the participant’s CGM; and a tablet device at the nursing station, connected to the hospital Wi-Fi network, with Dexcom Follow app installed.
The GTS will be programmed to provide nursing staff with real-time low-glucose and high-glucose alerts through a notification on the tablet device. Additionally, the GTS provides glucose trend arrow displays on the nursing station telemetry monitor which can be used to adjust supplemental doses of insulin as needed.
The intervention will run for the duration of the participant's inpatient stay on the study ward, up to a maximum of 10 days.

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Statistical analysis will be performed within an estimand framework.
For the primary and secondary efficacy estimand analyses involving time-in-range, time-above-range and time-below-range, the difference in medians between the intervention and control arms will be estimated using quantile (median) regression adjusted for age, diabetes aetiology and admitting unit.
For secondary efficacy estimand analyses involving hypoglycaemic and hyperglycaemic events, the difference in event rates between the intervention and control arms will be estimated using Negative Binomial Regression with CGM sensor-active time as the exposure offset term, count of events as the dependent variable, treatment arm as the independent variable, and age, diabetes aetiology and admitting unit as adjustment covariates. Should zero counts of events be over-represented in the event distributions, a zero-inflated model will be used as described above.
For the primary and secondary efficacy estimands, additional sensitivity analyses will be conducted excluding those participants with <70% CGM data capture for the period of their trial participation.

Summary
Brief summary
This study aims to answer the question: Does use of a glucose telemetry system amongst hospitalised patients with diabetes mellitus treated with multiple daily injections of insulin improve glycaemic outcomes? Eligible participants will be randomised to the glucose telemetry system or to usual care. The glucose telemetry system will provide nursing staff with real-time glucose alerts to facilitate inpatient diabetes care. We will assess whether use of a glucose telemetry system improves inpatient glycaemia. We hypothesise that use of a glucose telemetry system in hospital will improve CGM-based glycaemic outcomes.
