Abstract
Patients undergoing systemic anti‐cancer treatment (SACT) often receive short courses of high dose steroids which may cause hyperglycaemia and potentially impact negatively on clinical outcomes. In this study we aimed to ascertain the prevalence of diabetes in a day‐case SACT cohort and secondly to compare practical methods of identifying patients with diabetes in a busy oncology service.
