Optimizing the Delivery of Diabetes Management During Breast Cancer Care

Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE Women with diabetes and breast cancer have a 50% higher risk of death up to 10 years after cancer diagnosis compared to non-diabetic women with breast cancer, which may be partially due to suboptimal diabetes management during active cancer treatment. The goal of this study is to develop and pilot test a stakeholder- engaged intervention to manage diabetes for women receiving chemotherapy for incident, non-metastatic breast cancer. Findings from this innovative pilot study will lay the groundwork for a future, multi-site, randomized trial testing the intervention developed here.
