I took a low-dose aspirin every day for over 20 years, but was directed to stop about 6 months ago.
I take a full dose. 325mg for vascular issues
I took aspirin in the past, but stopped about five years ago after my endo advised the risk for an aneurysm was greater than the cardio benefit.
I have a score of zero on the coronary calcium scan after 67 years T1 so I see no need of a daily aspirin. My husband, who is not diabetic, has a score of over 700 and does take a daily aspirin.
Low dose aspirin was dropped from the ADA standards of care around 2010.
After quadruple bypass and 6 stents it makes sense to take aspirin
I bleed easily and it can be hard to stop the bleeding, so the aspirin would be counter-productive for me.
I was just diagnosed (about 2 months ago) with heart disease and the doctor asked me to start taking a daily low dose of aspirin. So, I do.
My angiogram will happen this week, so I’ll likely get at least one stent and two balloons or maybe they’ll stent the other two also.
My family has a strong history of heart-disease, so, while unfortunate, it isn’t really a shock.
I’ve taken a 81mg aspirin daily since 2006 and it was finally figured out I’d had my first CVA at 36. In 2012 when the reason for it was discovered and I had my first cerebral by-pass it became necessary to help keep blood flowing through the by-pass. Moyamoya Disease is just a whole bunch of fun.
I took low dose for 5 years, my endocrinologist said aspiran is not medically beneficial based upon new studies, I stopped
5-6 years ago Doc said “we don’t think this really helps anything unless your dx’d with something that specifies it. So stop taking it.”
It’s not recommended if you are having Eye problems which most of us long term persons with T1D have. (57 years)
My doctor put me on a daily dose of 81mg aspirin about 40 years ago. Five to 10 years ago, my doctor said that new studies showed daily aspirin to be dangerous for older people. So, I stopped.
Every day for many many years, but now every 3 days due to a troublesome bleeder in my nose especially in the winter
I did until I had a hemorrhagic stroke 9 years ago
