What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to enhance knowledge and awareness of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus among patients who arrive at the Emergency Department with hyperglycemia. Participants will receive an educational packet alongside standard emergency care and will complete surveys before and after the intervention to assess changes in their understanding and health behaviors. The study utilizes the Health Belief Model to address patients' perceptions of their diabetes risk and encourage proactive health management, such as follow-up with primary care physicians and use of medication assistance programs.
