•Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients had a 40% increased risk of gastrointestinal cancer.•Increased gastrointestinal cancer risks tended to be weaker when reducing detection bias by applying a 1-year lag-period.•Future observational studies should therefore include sensitivity analyses in which this bias is minimised.
