It is more likely that raised blood glucose, Diabetic Hyperglycemia, might raise the risks of getting certain kinds (while not all kinds) of cancer.

There are several hypothesises for why diabetics seem to be more prone to cancer, ranging from higher glucose level might favour the growth of tumours (nourishment), the insulin's functional similarity/association with growth hormones, other hormonal interferences, even the life style and circumstances that led to Diabetes could themselves be causative factors, amongst quite a few other possible reasons.

Cancer patients can have diabetes, but cancer does not mean someone will get it.

The exception to this is pancreatic cancer. It directly effects the organ that would cause diabetes.

Proactive Diabetes Patients Protect Society.?

Sadly, many patients who have been diagnosed with diabetes either can't or won't focus on fulfilling an effective treatment plan. Negligence on the part of diabetes sufferers can lead to illness, amputations and even death. Those who have failed to take their diabetes seriously can recommit themselves to a more diligent care program for the future. Diabetes patients should memorize and learn several dozen easy to make diabetes recipes.
