Women with high levels of blood sugar are at increased risk of cancer according to a study published in Europe.
The research, conducted by a team from the University of Umea in Sweden, found links between high level of sugar in the blood of women and cancer of the pancreas, skin, uterus and urinary tract.
However, diabetes experts say that more evidence to confirm this association.
The study coincides with other research relating to foods high in fat and carbohydrates, with the risks of contracting breast cancer.
Both diabetes and a diet based on carbohydrates, produce high levels of blood sugar.
Evidence
The study found that women who obtained the highest reading levels of blood have a 26% more likely to get cancer than those who received the
lowest readings.
The research is part of a comprehensive health study in Sweden known as the Vasterbotten Intervention Project. "
In the mid-80s, were invited to about 64.500 participants, whose age ranged between 40-60 years.
Data collection lasted 13 years and in that period, 2478 cases of cancer detected.
The study also found clear evidence of an increased incidence of hypoglycemia (abnormally high levels of sugar in the blood), as the increasing age.
Lifestyle
The chief researcher Dr Par Stattin, said "statistics show a significant risk to women, but not so in men."
Apparently, high levels of sugar in the blood of men protect against prostate cancer, but not significantly.
Maintain a healthy weight can make a difference in cancer prevention.
The research was funded in part by the World Wide Fund for Cancer Research, WCRF, for its acronym in English.
The director of scientific studies for WCRF UK, Greg Martin, said the results "are concerning."
"But they are important because if women are aware of the facts, they will be more motivated to change their lifestyle if their blood sugar levels are high," said Martin.
For Martin the good news is that "you can reduce those levels with a balanced diet consisting of lots of vegetables and fruit, and maintaining a healthy weight."
"We know it can prevent up to 40% of cancer cases with this type of healthy lifestyle, so that's another reason for people to make these small changes can make a big difference."
