Diabetes is prevalent in adults admitted to subacute rehab (SAR) and long-term care (LTC)
 skilled nursing care facilities. Management of diabetes in these facilities is challenging
 due to number of older adults with higher prevalence of other diseases, functional
 disability, and altered nutritional intake, which increase the risk of hypoglycemia (low
 blood sugars). The investigators propose to conduct this randomized controlled trial to
 determine whether the use of Dexcom CGM with Glucose Telemetry System (CGM-GTS) with
 hypoglycemia alarm compared to standard of care using capillary POC testing, will facilitate
 diabetes treatment and reduce the risk of hypoglycemia in patients with T2D in LTC
 facilities. Participants in the standard of care group will also wear a CGM (blinded one).
 The results of this study have great potential to impact and facilitate care and to change
 current clinical guidelines in the management of older adults with diabetes in SAR and LTC
 facilities.
