NCT ID NCT07180251

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how daily ups and downs in blood sugar affect people who have both gastrointestinal cancer and diabetes after surgery. Researchers will track 260 participants to see if these changes impact self-care, blood sugar control, emotional distress, fatigue, and quality of life. In the second phase, some participants will try an 8-week education program using a continuous glucose monitor to help them better manage their health.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a better way to help people manage both diabetes and recovery after GI cancer surgery, improving their daily life and emotional well-being.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage study with no control group for the main analysis, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, so benefits may vary by individual.
