Specific Aim 1: To examine study feasibility of a nurse-led intervention for adults with newly diagnosed cancer and T2D. We define feasibility indicators as: (a) efficient study recruitment is possible given prevalence of T2D (diagnosed and undiagnosed) in UF patients with newly diagnosed cancer; (b) retention rates in both groups ?80% to indicate that the study design and methods are adequately patient-centered; (c) identified barriers to and facilitators of a nurse-led intervention are respectively modifiable or optimizable; and (d) patient acceptability scores >8 for the study procedures. We hypothesize that we will recruit up to 40 patients within 18 months and retain ? 80% of patients in all groups; minor but important revisions will be required to resolve issues identified with using the nurse-led intervention; and 80% of patients from both groups who complete the study will report that the burden of the study is acceptable through their retention in the study. Specific Aim 2: To determine the variation in HbA1c at baseline and at the end of the three-month intervention period in each of the two study groups.
