Lantus and cancer risk? A brief explanation of science.

Lantus and cancer risk? The possible science behind it.
So this was a new one to me. I'm pretty well read on a large part of cancer research and more recently diabetes, but a link between lantus and cancer is something that I have never heard of before. While that being said, it does make sense

European Association for the Study of Diabetes Here is a webcast by Professor Ulf Smith (University of Göteborg, Sweden), and Professor Edwin Gale (University of Bristol, UK). (transcript) "...Lantus users fell into two fairly distinct groups – those who took Lantus with other insulins, most of whom were relatively young and had type 1 diabetes, and those who were on Lantus alone, who were older and had type 2 diabetes. The first group had a lower than average cancer risk, as compared with human insulin, and the group on Lantus alone had a slightly higher risk....the investigators concerned consider the results to be far from conclusive...."
