In 2019, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimated that worldwide approximately 463 million adults between 20 and 79 years of age were living with diabetes, (59 million in Europe), of whom roughly 90% had type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) [1]. The IDF further estimated that in the same year diabetes resulted in a global healthcare expenditure exceeding 760 billion USD, comprising approximately 10% of the total healthcare expenditure for adults worldwide, again with a large proportion due to the burden of T2DM.
