title: Acute effects of acetylsalicylic acid on blood glucose and insulin in non-insulin dependent diabetes.
abstract: Two groups of diabetic patients--one treated with diet and glipizide and the other with diet alone--volunteered in the study. After a standard meal blood glucose and insulin were followed for four hours during two separate days. On the first day the patients received their ordinary treatment, whereas on the second 1 g of acetylsalicylic acid was added before the test meal. In both groups an enhanced insulin mobilization was observed, when acetylsalicylic acid has been added. A decrease of the blood sugar level was recorded as well. The latter was however less pronounced in the group of subjects receiving only diet.
