Prediabetes  is associated with a significant increase in cancer risk that is independent of the effects of obesity, according to the results of a large new meta-analysis.

Yuli Huang, MD, PhD, from First People’s Hospital of Shunde, Foshan, China, and colleagues found that prediabetes is associated with a 15% increased risk for cancer overall, based on data derived from 16 studies.The study was published online in Diabetologia.

Over 10 years ago, the ADA lowered its definition of prediabetes to that of a fasting plasma glucose concentration ranging from 100.8 to 124.4 mg/dL.

Serum Insulin level indicates prediabetes before Glucose level rises, so what we need to do, is to monitor our serum insulin level even more than the blood sugar level, and aim to maintain insulin level below 5mIU/L, preferably 3mIU/L and under.
