Diabetes patients with a history of vascular disease:
Low dose aspirin (75–162 mg per day) may be considered for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in diabetic young patients with one or more risk factors or older patients without risk factors until further research is available.
Aspirin recommendations of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association Stroke Council (6):
The use of aspirin for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease: The use of aspirin for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease is recommended in patients with a high enough risk of cardiovascular disease or 6-10% 10-year risk of cardiovascular events if the benefit of aspirin outweighs the risk of harm from aspirin use.
