TYPE 2 DIABETES AND OTHER FORMS OF CANCER
Type 2 diabetes appears to increase the risk of various forms of cancer for both men and women, though the evidence is far from conclusive.
Doctors and scientists are unclear about how diabetes might lead to cancer, which is characterized by abnormal cell growth. But many in the medical community think insulin may influence the growth of cells.
Insulin can bind to tumor growth factors and some doctors think the insulin and blood glucose imbalance called Insulin Resistance that can underlie diabetes could have a detrimental effect on the make-up of the body's cells.
People who have been injecting insulin for years can over time develop Insulin Resistance, leading to higher levels of circulating insulin and blood sugar, which could be a factor along with insulin's influence on the body's hormone levels.
A 10-year German study which looked at a person with diabetes' risk of developing cancer found that there was an almost ten-fold increased risk of developing colon or rectal cancer among individuals with diabetes than in the general population free of diabetes. But there was no increased risk among persons with diabetes for other cancers including the breast, testicular, lung and kidney varieties. (1)
Another study, of women in New York, showed that the incidence of colorectal cancer increased significantly with the increasing levels of insulin (2). These finding were important because individuals with diabetes can have higher levels of insulin due to Insulin Resistance.
The Insulite Diabetes Advanced Management System is a scientific breakthrough that could improve your health by increasing the insulin sensitivity of your cells. Greater sensitivity can result in a huge improvement in the efficient processing of glucose and insulin, thereby reducing the amount of insulin you require to manage your diabetes.
By lowering insulin intake and dependency through more effective management of your diabetes, you are likely to experience better long-term health and a greater sense of well being. You may also reduce your risk as someone with diabetes of developing such serious, insulin imbalance-linked complications as failing eyesight, kidney disease and the need for amputation.
