Lymphoma Occurs More Often in Diabetics Than Non-Diabetics

When you get diabetes, it seems like you immediately hear about all the other things you are at risk for as well. That’s yet another reason why it can be such an emotional burden to get the disease.

I hear about a lot of things because I choose to be educated about diabetes. You have take the knowledge and then move on from it. Use it if it helps you, but if it’s something you really can’t do anything about, deal with it as best you can.

That’s the way I’d like you to deal with this news. Recent news suggests that non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma occurs in diabetics more than people without diabetes. 19% higher, to be exact.

Again, this knowledge confirms what we already know: that diabetes is hard on the body in many ways. Some of which we don’t even realize yet. All the more reason we need to find a cure.
