Iris, my doctor didn't tell me but I did read something about it. having done more research they are not so sure that aspirin is as much help to women who have not had a heart attack/stroke. When I mentioned it to my doctor he didn't say anything against me coming off the aspirin when I suggested it.

If you have been getting gastric problems maybe that's why?

When I looked on the internet yesterday it seems the advise is still 75mg Aspirin daily is recommended for Diabetics.........but probably your doctor has more up to date info than is available on the internet?

I know it's not recommended to take even that small dose daily unless there are medical reasons to do so.
