Summary
Brief summary
People with type 2 diabetes have both greater risk of heart attack and are likely to be resistant to drugs such as aspirin commonly used to prevent heart attacks. Furthermore, while some clinicians currently change drug therapy or increase the dose given to people with diabetes, no studies have been done to assess the risk or benefit of such action and there is a need for clear, evidence based, clinical guidelines to be established. Therefore we aim to pilot a study which will assess the effect of increasing frequency of aspirin dosing, adding alternative drug therapy, or better management of hyperglycaemia to improve markers of heart attack risk. We hypothesize that these approaches will improve markers of platelet activation in aspirin resistant diabetics.
