Eligible patients will undergo DDexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitor device placement |
- Blood glucose measurement [ Time Frame: 3 to 5 days ]Proportion of CGM values within 20% of blood glucose levels >100 mg/dl or within 20 mg/dl of blood glucose level for levels <=100 mg/dl. (Will examine different thresholds of CGM values within a certain range of blood glucose levels, i.e., 10%, 15%, 25%.)
- Hypoglycemia events [ Time Frame: 3 to 5 days ]Comparison in number of hypoglycemia events (glucose <70 mg/dl) determined by CGM or by blood glucose measurements
