Remember Claus von Bulow, whose wife Sonny ended up in a coma?

Iirc, from the trial, one theory was that she was taking insulin for weight control, combined that with aspirin and went into a coma.

Of course, I always thought Claus did it for the money.

"New research conducted by Spanish researchers finds that healthy obese people who take aspirin actually increase their levels of insulin, reducing the chance of developing insulin resistance."

What if you are a healthy non-obese person? Same results?

Interesting. Another reason to add an aspirin to my handful of morning pharmaceuticals. I kicked Glucovance three years ago when I dropped 40 pounds and started hitting the gym three days a week. In fact, at my six-month yesterday, my A1c was a nice, healthy 6.0 and my plasma glucose was 99. BP 130/70. I think I'll add a Bayer to help keep it that way.

Diabetic Ping.

What dose?
What about stomach bleeds?

I started my own regimen of St. Josephs a couple of weeks ago to combat some leg swelling. My doctor is an idiot who said it was due to gravity. Phhtttt! (I’m 6’3, 200lbs and seeking a new doctor)

I thought insulin resistance had to do with the cells’ ability to respond to insulin, not low levels of insulin. Is the article garbled on this point?

I wonder how restricted and how expensive aspirin would be if it were a new drug?
