We establish a connection between anomalous heat conduction and anomalous diffusion in one dimensional systems. It is shown that if the mean square of the displacement of the particle is $<\Delta x^2> =2Dt^{\alpha} (0<\alpha\le 2)$, then the thermal conductivity can be expressed in terms of the system size $L$ as $\kappa = cL^{\beta}$ with $\beta=2-2/\alpha$. This result predicts that a normal diffusion ($\alpha =1$) implies a normal heat conduction obeying the Fourier law ($\beta=0$), a superdiffusion ($\alpha>1$) implies an anomalous heat conduction with a divergent thermal conductivity ($\beta>0$), and more interestingly, a subdiffusion ($\alpha <1$) implies an anomalous heat conduction with a convergent thermal conductivity ($\beta<0$), consequently, the system is a thermal insulator in the thermodynamic limit. Existing numerical data support our results.
