A member asked:
Type 2 diabetic patients should take aspirin to overcome thrombosis w may occur or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aspirin and Diabetes: Older diabetics above the age of 65 years should take aspirin as they're more likely to get heart benefit than an ulcer, pretty much. For younger diabetics, the converse is true. It's all about the risk benefit ratio and prudent use of medications, even OTC.
