I found this meta-study:
Diabetes, Glycated Hemoglobin, and Risk of Cancer in the UK Biobank Study
Sample size almost half a million, 54% women.
Quote:
Results: Diabetes was associated with increased risk of cancers of the stomach, liver, bladder, endometrium, and lung among smokers, and with decreased risk of prostate cancer. Compared with the normal HbA1c category, the increased risk category was positively associated with risk of cancers of the colon, liver, bladder, and lung among smokers, and the high-risk category was associated with increased risk of cancers of the esophagus, liver, pancreas, and bladder, and with decreased risk of prostate cancer.
Conclusions: These results suggest that both diabetes and/or elevated HbA1c are associated with risk of cancer at several anatomic sites.

There you go, clear connections with elevated blood sugar and cancer. The why needs to be untangled but "normal blood sugar control" is always going to win in a health contest.
They can't do it with drugs as well as a person can with proper diet. Medically, that is something preferable, as most people prefer their own limbs instead of the finest prosthesis, no? They justify the drug for something the patient can do better by themselves, like getting Prozac because it's cheaper than actual therapy.
And at this point we have people who grew up/lived through all the bad food advice and I think they
have given up. Learned helplessness.
Because their brain only sees the junk as "food." They can't even imagine what it's like to eat properly because none of them did as plant-based moved inexorably into everything. It's now got a grip on their critical thinking but most of the people they know thinks this same way, from the same struggles.
We are telling them the exact opposite every authority in their lives has told them to do, and death by meat and fat is the one they have feared for years. They don't know it's a lie.
But then again, I'm watching a woman living in Spain (
Cabana Chronicles ) who no longer has symptoms of MS on a carnivore diet and her neurologist pats her on the head (metaphorically) through eight years knowing she has refuses the drugs and tells her, "Then you don't need a MRI."
But she needs one. To see if the lesions left and so she doesn't have to pay ten times the going rate to get insurance for a doctor who is doing nothing because she reports no symptoms. But since "MS can't be cured" she has restrictions on her license and other things that she shouldn't have to do.
They have to ignore people like that. Even doctors. Every bit of their training tells them so.
