The other day, New York Times blogger Anahad O'Connor wrote about juggling diabetes and cancer, noting that as many as one in five cancer patients also has diabetes.
To those of us who write about cancer almost every day, this blog entry serves as a reminder of why balancing anti-cancer treatments and diabetes poses such a challenge for these patients:

The blog also notes that obesity and advanced age are links between the two diseases, but these are extraordinarily general, and while it is understood why getting older increases one's risk of developing cancer, it still remains largely a mystery why obesity does the same.
The best advice the blog offers is getting a certified diabetes educator on one's cancer treatment team. Having spoken to a number of certified oncology nutritionists in the past about this topic, I would argue that they would be just as effective as diabetes educators.
