Summary

This trial tests if a daily dose of 80mg enteric-coated aspirin can help type 2 diabetic patients. It will measure platelet function at the start and end of the trial.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with stable type 2 diabetes who haven't taken aspirin in the last 3 months. They should not have a history of bleeding disorders, active cancer, abnormal blood counts, or be pregnant. They must also avoid certain medications like anticoagulants and anti-inflammatories.
What is being tested?
The study tests how patients with type 2 diabetes respond to a daily dose of enteric-coated aspirin (80 mg) over one week. It aims to prepare for a larger phase 2 trial and check how well this low-dose aspirin prevents blood clots.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include gastrointestinal issues like stomach ulcers or bleeding, especially if there's a history of H. pylori infection or previous GI tract problems.
