Sorry for the big words, I just mean that cancer cells depends more on products of lipids breakdown such as ketone bodies and free fatty acids instead of products of carbohydrate breakdown such as α-ketoglutarate. So in diabetes, lipid metabolism is more pronounced, so cancer cells will develop more in this state of health. That's where the two conditions are related. That's just what I mean.
