Impact of Glycemic Variability on People With Gastrointestinal Cancer and Diabetes After Surgery
Sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital
Summary
In study phase 1, the investigators will prospectively examine the factors related to post-operative glycemic variability and its effect on outcomes in people with both DM and GI cancer after surgery. The study will also qualitatively understand the glycemic variability experiences and their associated symptoms and outcomes in people with both DM and GI cancer. In study phase 2, the investigators will develop and test the effects of the CGM-Assisted Reflection Education (CARE) program on adults with both DM and GI cancer post-surgery.

Interventions
CARE program
The CARE program is an 8-week intervention using reflection assisted with CGM. The Abbott factory-calibrated Freestyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring (Freestyle Libre 2) system will be used to evaluate glycemic variability.
Usual Care
Usual care means the participants will receive care from their primary care physicians and nurses during clinic visits at the surgical OPD.
