[QUOTE="Q007, post: 453307, member: 73045"] My wife has CVD and 3 heart attacks chalked up, she takes aspirin daily and doctor says its the most important drug of all. My GP told me NOT to take aspirin because of the risk of setting off a bleed. We discussed that aspirin is proven to significantly reduce risk of heart attacks and strokes for those with cardio-vascular disease, and I was surprised to here that diabetics are in the same risk group, in fact shocked. Apparently all NSAID drugs have similar risks of setting off a bleed, he went on to say. I understand there is risk with taking most drugs, I got that. But, what are the risks vs benefits for a T2 diabetic, is anyone taking it? What are the RVB? What do you think? Kind regards, Q..
