I have heard quite a bit recently about "tumour-feeding glucose". I read the following recently about the size and growth of cancer tumours (it's from the McDougall Letter for November 2011):

=========
"How Cancer Grows
"People unfamiliar with the manner in which cancer 
grows are easily fooled into thinking it spreads like 
wildfire, almost overnight, because one moment 
the person appears to be in good health, and then 
the next moment the patient has a body full of disease. 
When the cancer is first diagnosed people believe 
that this is “early disease,” that can be “caught in 
time and cured” if removed. This fairytale view is, 
unfortunately, untrue.

"Cancer grows at a steady rate (referred to as the 
doubling time). Early growth is invisible because the 
cancer is microscopic in size. This increase in size of 
the cancer is hidden from view as one cancer cell 
divides into two cells, two into four, and so on. The 
doublings remain undetectable until the cancer reaches 
a size of 1 mm (period-size), which now contains a 
million cells, after about 6 years of growth. After 
10 years of growth, the tumor is 1 cm in diameter 
(eraser-size) and contains one billion cells. At this point
 in its natural history the doublings become very 
apparent: one billion cancer cells divide into a mass 
containing two billion cells, and with the next doubling 
there are 4 billion cancer cells inside the patient’s body. 
Thus, cancer is undetectable by the patient and his 
physician for the first two-thirds of its natural history, 
and this leads to confusion."

I don't think there is any way you could reduce your blood glucose to a level where a tumor's growth would be constrained in the first 10 years of its existence.
