Diabetes is a major cause of death in many countries due to its increasing incidence, high prevalence, and clinical manifestation of a variety of micro- and macrovascular complications if it is not appropriately treated [1, 2]. Recent studies have shown that diabetic patients may also have a higher risk of cancer [2], the number one killer that threatens the lives of billions of people.
