Background: Evidence indicates self‐management programmes based on improving self‐efficacy in managing diabetes can reduce the risk of a further cardiac event. Many current cardiac rehabilitation or diabetes self‐management programmes do not address the needs of people with both type 2 diabetes and a critical cardiac condition in their transition from coronary care unit (CCU) to home. Aims/Methods: The aim was to develop and pilot test a Cardiac–Diabetes Self‐Management Program (CDSMP) using an experimental design. Findings/Conclusion: Results demonstrated the feasibility of the CDSMP for CCU patients with type 2 diabetes in their transition to home, and a full study is warranted.
