Australian scientists find drug that reduces risk of diabetes

Health 18:31 31.12.2023

A research team from Australia's Monash University found that taking 100 mg of aspirin daily helps reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, Ednews informs.

The results of the scientists’ work were presented in the The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology journal.

The authors of the work observed more than 16,000 elderly people over 65 years of age for almost five years. They were divided into two equal groups: the first took 100 mg of aspirin daily, and the second took the same amount of placebo.

During the study, 995 participants developed type II diabetes, with 459 participants in the first group and 536 in the second. Thus, aspirin reduced the risk of developing the disease by 15%. After analyzing the health indicators of all participants, the authors found that participants in the first group had less increased fasting blood glucose levels in the morning.

However, scientists also confirmed the negative effect of aspirin - a strong blood thinning. This increases the risk of dangerous bleeding, but reduces the risk of thrombosis.
