Does Blood Sugar Affect Breast Cancer Survival?
| Hyperglycemic |
33% Survival Rate |
| Normoglycemic |
67% Survival Rate |
| Hypoglycemic |
95% Survival Rate |
Conclusion: Higher blood glucose yields shorter survival time in a dose-dependent response. Survival after 70 days was 8 of 24(hyper), 16 of 24 (normo) and 19 of 20 (hypo).
Study design: Mice were injected with aggressive breast cancer and then placed on 3 different diets to alter blood glucose.
