This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The ED is a novel setting for diabetes screening. We seek to evaluate ED screening for undiagnosed diabetes. In a pilot study at MGH, we will enroll adult ED patients without prior diagnosis of diabetes on 6 data collection days (~600 subjects). The study consists of ED interview, ED POC HbA1c and glucose, and outpatient o-GTT (if ED screening abnormal). We anticipate high rates of undiagnosed diabetes among ED patients and will use these preliminary data for planning a multicenter study of ED diabetes screening.
