A total of 120 hospitalized patients with T2DM admitted to the endocrinology department of our hospital from April 2025 to October 2025 were randomly assigned to an intervention group and a control group, with 60 patients in each group. The control group received routine discharge guidance, while the intervention group was treated with the discharge preparation plan. Discharge readiness (RHDS scores), glycemic control indicators, self-management ability (SDSCA scores), readmission rates, and medical costs were compared between the two groups at baseline and at 1 and 3\u202fmonths post-discharge, and a cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      After the intervention, the intervention group demonstrated significantly higher RHDS total scores at discharge (75.4\u202f\u00b1\u202f7.1 vs. 62.6\u202f\u00b1\u202f6.8,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt;\u202f0.001) and at 3\u202fmonths (87.4\u202f\u00b1\u202f8.0 vs. 67.2\u202f\u00b1\u202f7.6,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt;\u202f0.001).
