Flow diagram of admissions included in the study. †The first comparison compared June to August 2013 against June to August 2016. ‡The second comparison compared three time periods for each phase: 1) Pre-implementation (3 months pre-implementation), 2) Post-implementation period 1 (first to third months post-implementation), and 3) Post-implementation period 2 (fourth to sixth months post-implementation for each phase). §An admission was considered as likely on DM if the patient had 1) any prescription of DM medications, or 2) any capillary blood glucose reading > 11.1 mmol/L, during the inpatient admission
