Interventions

OTHERDM Discharge Toolkit

The DM Discharge Toolkit is a multi-modal intervention consisting of a 3-D printed DM survival "kit" that stores DM self-care supplies (e.g., glucose meter) and technical skills (e.g., injection) simulation materials (e.g. simulation skin), whose use is integrated with a website (https://mydiabeteskit.com) containing standardized DM "Survival" education content.
