that research suggests type 1 diabetes may be associated with “a higher risk of several cancers but a reduced risk of others.” Researchers found that while “men with type 1 diabetes were not at a higher overall risk of getting cancer (hazard ratio 1.01, 95% CI 0.98-1.04) than the general population...women with type 1 diabetes had a slightly higher risk.” However, “diabetes patients faced lower risk of prostate cancer...and of breast cancer.” The findings were published in Diabetologia. http://www.medpagetoday.com/Endocrinology/Type1Diabetes/56472
