New research revealed that Ovarian cancer is less in women who have high adherence to a diabetes risk reduction diet. Women with the highest DRRD adherence scores had a 24% lower risk of ovarian cancer compared to those with the lowest scores, even after adjusting for several potential confounders like measures of endogenous estrogen exposure, use of OC, family history of ovarian/breast cancer, and total energy intake. The study results were published in the journal Cancer Causes & Control.

Diabetic women are at high risk of ovarian cancer due to the modulation of the insulin-like growth factor caused by hyperglycaemia and hyperinsulinemia. A diabetes risk reduction diet that is characterized by high intakes of cereal fiber, polyunsaturated fatty acids, coffee, and nuts, and low intakes of carbohydrates, red and processed meat, sugar-sweetened beverages, and trans fatty acids was proposed for the prevention of T2 diabetes risk.
