- Result of stratified regression analysis shows exogenous insulin (95%
CI: 0.022-0.664; p =0.036) effects significantly on the level
of MAADP in diabetic patients treated with
antiplatelet therapy, while glimepiride(p =0.873),
metformin(p =0.816) and acarbose(p =0.076) has little
effect on MAADP.
- Recent studies have shown that insulin therapy increased the risk of
major cardiovascular adverse events, and the effect of insulin on
platelet function may be partially responsible for that.
