The two most common diseases in the United States are diabetes and cancer. Although, both diseases appear distant, there has recently been a strong link between the two diseases.
Cancer patients who already have diabetes have a greater risk of dying of diabetes then cancer patients who do not have the blood-sugar disorder, according to the American Medical Association.
An estimated 24 million Americans within the United States have diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association, and about 18 percent of newly diagnosed cancer patients also have the disease.
Frederick Broncati at the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, in the Baltimore, Maryland found that those with diabetes and cancer have a 1.4 times higher percent change of dying of cancer. Broncoti’s study also showed those with diabetes have a greater risk of developing cancer, this may be due to the fact many of those with type two diabetes are overweight or obese.
