[Results] Self-management support for blood glucose control was given to patients in accordance with the content and timing of their cancer treatments and the nurses' expertise. However, the nurses experienced difficulties with self-management support, such as problems with finding a time and place to listen to patients diagnosed with cancer, with constructing a relationship with patients, and with the hesitation of rigorous blood glucose control in relation to malignancy. They felt that information-sharing and understanding between the cancer and diabetes fields were lacking. Because the medical treatment for patients with diabetes and cancer was complicated, self-management support required specialized knowledge from both the cancer field and the diabetes field.
