The link between diabetes and breast cancer was suggested but till now, no solid proof of the relationship between the two diseases was solid. New research has found that postmenopausal women who had elevated levels on insulin such as the case with those who are diabetics have a higher risk of developing breast cancer due to the ability of insulin to promote cell division. As known, insulin intake increases as the human body gets used to the artificial boost necessitating more doses as the years progress. The developing insulin resistance within the body causes more of the substance to be present in the bloodstream leading to complications, one of them being breast cancer that was noted to be higher with diabetics.
