Does aspirin use reduce cardiovascular risk in diabetes?

John A Colwell. Nat Rev Endocrinol. 2009 Apr.

Abstract

The use of aspirin for the primary prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is controversial. According to the findings of a Japanese trial, aspirin does not reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in this group of patients, unless they are aged 65 years and above.
