  • Ability to speak, read, and communicate via English

Exclusion Criteria:

• Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

  • Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
  • Current gestational diabetes mellitus
  • Current/active platelet disorder or bleeding diathesis (thrombocytopenia of any etiology, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura/ITP, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura/TTP, von Willebrand disease, etc.)
  • Thrombophilia
  • Current use of NSAID for other indication (indomethacin, ibuprofen, etc.)
  • Current use of other immune-modulating agents and biologics (hydroxychloroquine, azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, IL-6 inhibitors, etc.)
  • Current or recent use of steroids
  • Current use of prophylactic or therapeutic anticoagulation
  • Medical contraindication to aspirin therapy
  • Molar pregnancy
