Aspirin Therapy in Diabetes
Anti-Platelet Therapy Consider aspirin therapy (75-162 mg/day) as a primary prevention strategy in T1D or T2D at increased CVD risk (>10% over 10 yrs), including most men >50 years old and women >60 years old, with additional risk factors (family history of CVD, hypertension, smoking, dyslipidemia, or albuminuria) Use aspirin therapy (75 162 mg/day) as a secondary prevention strategy in those with diabetes with a history of CVD. For patients with CVD and aspirin allergy, clopidogrel (75 mg/day) should be used Combination therapy with aspirin (75 162 mg/day) and clopidogrel (75 mg/day) is reasonable for up to 1 year after an acute coronary episode American Diabetes Association. Diabetes Care. 2013; 36 (suppl 1):S11 :S11-S66S66
