Description
Jihane Meziani and co-authors checked whether blood sugar monitoring helps catch pancreatic cancer early in high risk people, in work published in 2024. New diabetes can be an early sign of the cancer, so guidelines advise tracking sugar in surveillance programs. More than four hundred high risk people under yearly scans were studied.
Nine developed the cancer during follow up. Average sugar and long term sugar values did not differ between those who developed cancer and those who did not. Shares with at least one high reading were also alike, and no trend over time warned of cancer ahead. The authors say the blood tests added nothing to detection in this group, while larger studies settle the question.
