Summary

The goal of this research is to evaluate the impact and feasibility of using web-based patient-provider communication and a remote glucose monitoring tool to improve post-hospitalization glycemic control and patient self-care. The investigators hypothesize that providing patients this web-based tool over a 4-week period after discharge to home will result in more effective glycemic control compared to usual care, and that patients with access to the "tool kit" will have a trend towards improved diabetes self-management and less diabetes-related distress.
