To examine the association of in-hospital diabetes regimen intensification with subsequent 30-day risk for unplanned readmission/emergency department admission. ⋯ Diabetes medical regimen intensification during hospitalization was not associated with early readmission. Among patients with elevated HbA(1c) , glucose therapy intensification was associated with a decreased 30-day readmission/emergency department admission risk and lower outpatient HbA(1c) levels. Our findings support the safety and durable impact of diabetes regimen optimization during hospital admission.
