Years ago one doctor (IIRC a general practioner) noticed that all his diabetes patients taking metformin never got cancer. So he wrote a letter about it. I've lost the cite.

Today everyone, even doctors, knows that high blood sugar levels increase the odds of cancer AND diabetes. That's why everyone and his dog is taking metformin and why that drug is almost always the first ingredient included in "life extension" cocktail drug tests.
