ABSTRACT
Inadequate glycaemic control post-discharge is the root cause of readmission in people with diabetes mellitus (DM) and is often linked to improper discharge planning (DP). A structured DP plays a crucial role in ensuring continuing home care and avoiding readmissions. DP should help patients in self-care and provide appropriate guidance to maintain optimal glycaemic control. There is a scarcity of reports and recommendations on the proper DP for people with DM on insulin therapy. The present review provides important consideration based on experts' opinions from the National Insulin and Incretin summit (NIIS), focusing on the effective treatment strategies at the time of discharge, especially for insulin therapy. A review of literature from PubMed and Embase was conducted. The consensus was derived, and recommendations were made on effective DP for patients with DM. Recommendations arrived at the NIIS for post-discharge treatment for medical and surgical cases, stress-induced hyperglycaemia, elderly, pregnant women, and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases. The committee also recommended a comprehensive checklist to assist the physicians during discharge.
