CANCER, TYPE 2 DIABETES, RECRUITMENT, NELSON
This study was not feasible due to recruitment inefficiencies, but acceptable to all who qualified.Undiagnosed Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been associated with advanced stage cancer at diagnosis, higher mortality, and lower long‐term all‐cause survival. This was a pilot RCT study to examine the feasibility of a nurse‐led T2D intervention for adults with newly diagnosed cancer (=3 months), and T2D, undiagnosed or untreated with medication, conducted at an outpatient oncology clinic affiliated with a large academic institution. This study was not feasible due to the cost, time, and personnel needed to screen participants with a point‐of‐care HbA1c test.
