With most illnesses, like the flu or a cold, are foreshadowed by high blood glucose. Does anyone know if this is the same for cancer, does the growth of cancer cells in the body affect blood glucose?

I wonder about that, I know when I was diagnosed with bladder cancer 5 years ago, my doctor started treating my diabetes more aggressively. I was too absorbed with the cancer to do more than take the pills the doctor told me to at the time. I know I was having very high readings while I was being treated for the cancer, but it was a very stressful time, too.
