| E.2 Objective of the trial | 
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial | 
| To compare the efficacy of enhanced published best practice paper-based insulin titration protocol (ePBP) for glycaemic control in hospitalised patients with type 2 diabetes for the length of hospital stay, with a maximum of 21 days. |  | 
| E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial | 
| To evaluate safety and usability of ePBP for glycaemic control in hospitalised patients with type 2 diabetes, with a maximum of 21 days. To compare the efficacy of ePBP vs. standard care (SC) for glycaemic control in hospitalised patients with type 2 diabetes for the length of hospital stay, with a maximum of 21 days.
