GPs Rebecca and Sarah are joined by Dr Pawan Randev, Independent Primary Care Cancer Lead & Educator, and Professor of Health Psychology, Laura Ashley, to explore the complex relationship between type 2 diabetes and cancer risk. The conversation focuses on low awareness among patients and health professionals, the importance of annual diabetic reviews for promoting cancer screening, and practical strategies for integrating cancer risk messaging into chronic disease management. The discussion also addresses new onset diabetes as a red flag for pancreatic cancer, barriers to screening uptake and the “gap” between cancer and diabetes care that can leave patients unsupported.
