Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The efficacy of low dose aspirin appears to be substantially lower in diabetic patients, compared to patients without diabetes.

We will perform an observational study where we follow up patients with uncontrolled type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and low response to aspirin (Aspirin Resistance), during a period of 6 months in the diabetic clinic. Our hypothesis is that glucose control will improve the response to aspirin in those patients.

    Arms and Interventions

    Arm Intervention/Treatment
    Observation

    Type 2 diabetic patients with reduced laboratory response to aspirin.(Aspirin Resistance)and with HbA1c >8%.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. The outcome measure is the laboratory Aspirin Resistance. [3 and 6 months.]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. To determine the incidence of laboratory aspirin resistance in type 2 DM in stable out-patients in the diabetic clinic, and possibly related factors. [On screening visit.]
