Aspirin-Like Treatment May Be Safe, Effective for Type 2 Diabetes
May 3, 2004 (Boston) — Salsalate, an aspirin-like anti-inflammatory agent, has shown promise as a type 2 diabetes treatment in a small pilot study at the Joslin Clinic.
Robert J. Silver, MD, a fellow in endocrinology and diabetes at the Boston-based diabetes center, reported that 3.0 g taken orally for two weeks was enough to reduce blood fasting glucose by 9% in nine patients. Other benefits included reductions of 12% in triglyceride and 15% in free fatty acid levels.
