People with diabetes are at higher risk for certain cancers than those without the blood sugar disease, suggests a new study.
Based on data from a telephone survey of nearly 400,000 adults, researchers found 16 out of every 100 diabetic men and 17 out of every 100 diabetic women said they had cancer.
That compares to just seven per 100 men and 10 per 100 women without diabetes.
