Long term use of insulin does not put people with diabetes or pre-diabetes at higher risk for heart attack, stroke or cancer, according to a large international study that followed more than 12,500 people in 40 countries over 6 years.
Another finding was that taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements (in the form of 1 gm daily capsules) did not reduce heart-related deaths in people with type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes. But the researchers couldn't say if this was also true of a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, since they did not study this effect.
This study was funded by Sanofi who market Lantus.
