I know a nurse who is a T2. She said most cancer patients are diabetics with high blood sugar. Many were diagnosed with diabetes when a full blood panel was done for their cancer diagnosis.

To me, this suggests a few scenarios.

1) People are not having regular physical exams and proper blood tests done for diagnosis of diabetes.

2) Diabetics do not understand or ignore the seriousness of their disease.

3) The monetary cost of Diabetes is just too much for some families.

I do agree that if there were healthier life style choices, the delay of this disease could be greater.
