Dr. Yuanjie Mao has led a study looking at the correlation between daily insulin dose and cancer incidence (the number of new cases) among patients with type 1 diabetes, finding that higher insulin dose is positively associated with cancer incidence and that the association is stronger among those with insulin resistance.
"In patients with type 1 diabetes, our results show that traditional metabolic factors such as obesity (represented by body mass index), sugar control (represented by Hemoglobin A1c), and blood pressure control do not associate with cancer incidence," Mao said. "However, cancer incidence was higher for those who took larger dose of insulin. Our results implied that clinicians might need to balance the potential cancer risk when treating patients with type 1 diabetes on a high daily insulin dose or that improving insulin sensitivity may be preferred than simply increasing the insulin dose."
Mao also found that age and sex are associated with cancer incidence when evaluated separately and that a daily insulin dose posed a higher risk of cancer than age, especially a higher insulin dose.
According to the paper, when the daily insulin dose is classified into three groups, low: less than 0.5; medium: greater than or equal to 0.5 or lower than 0.8; and high: greater than or equal to 0.8 units/kg per day, the hazard ratios were significantly higher in the high dose versus the low dose group. Cancer incidence was 2.11, 2.87, and 2.91 per 1,000 persons in the low, medium, and high insulin dose groups, respectively.
He went on to explain that specifically, women carry a higher risk than men.
Although previous studies have concluded that patients with diabetes have a higher risk of cancer in general, this is the first study to explore the associated cancer incidence factors in type 1 diabetes.

However, eating too much protein can also raise blood sugar a bit, but nothing like a meal of carbs.
Talk with your doctor around how to safely eat to not need so much insulin.
Omg no kidding.
Sugar fuels cancer. Sugar spikes insulin.
Why do they act like this is new brilliant understanding? Man.
On the other hand, studies show those who take Metformin reduce their chances of cancer by 50%.
When they do a PET scan to detect presence of cancer tumors, the patient drinks high dose of glucose sugar. The cancer cells absorb that sugar faster than normal cells
And they light up the scan.
For all of our socalled modern progress in medicine, we Americans, on average, live longer but more sickly lives as compared to 100 years ago. The phenomena that beg our scrutiny is why so many diseases and conditions, (such as diabetes and ADD, et al.) never existed until modern times?
Ever since the Rockefeller model for medicine bulldozed the natural health paradigm the health of our nation went into a tailspin and while concurrently billionaire dollar pharmaceutical companies emerged.
At the med school level most every university scrapped any natural and homoeopathic courses and cures which, with the help of Rockefellerian funded propaganda, were relegated as quackery.
Diabetic? Cut eating the crap, get some exercise and see if your condition improves.
