Dexcom G6 Intervention Study

A blinded factory-calibrated continues glucose monitoring sensor system Dexcom G6 will be placed shortly after admission. Two CGM devices will be inserted in all patients - one in the abdomen and one in the arm to also assess differences in blood glucose readings between upper extremity and abdominal insertion sites. Information on CGM readings will be collected daily during the hospital stay up to 10 days using the Dexcom Studio software to download the Dexcom receiver data.

Standard of care - bedside point-of-care (POC) capillary blood glucose (BG) monitoring will be done before meals and bedtime daily during the hospital stay up to 10 days.
