MONTGOMERY, Ohio (Liz Bonis) -- There is yet another reason that you should try to bring your blood sugar levels down, it could help fight cancer.
If you've been told you have high blood sugars, or diabetes runs in your family, there is something you can do to lower your risk of pre-diabetes

Researchers at TriHealths Fitness and Health Pavilion in Montgomery found that if you have pre-diabetes bringing down blood sugar levels under control can also lower your risk specifically for different types of cancer,

Researchers reviewed 16 different studies and those who exercised and had blood sugars under control brought down their risk for liver, breast, colon, pancreatic and bladder cancers.

It may be due to the idea that exercise helps use sugar for energy more efficiently,

It also helps control waist weight and that can alter hormone levels often linked to risk for certain cancers.

If you know you have been told you have a "touch of sugar," the best thing you can do is get into the gym,
