Is An INR Reading Of 0.97 A Cause For Concern?
Brief Answer:
Your INR is absolutely normal.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your INR is normal.
The result is not interfered by aspirin before 3 days.
Normal range is around 1.
INR indicate the bleeding or clotting tendency. When person has clotting tendency and blood thinner like warferrin is given then it increases the INR.
In heart disease and certain condition we need to maintain INR in between 2 and 3.
But in normal person INR is 1.
So if you don't have any history of heart disease or stroke then your INR is absolutely normal and nothing to worry.
If you have any history then please specify. Diabetes only doesn't need any blood thinner.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.

Brief Answer:
As such diabetes is not a indication for aspirin.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have history of diabetes. But diabetes itself is not an indication to start aspirin. No need to take aspirin for that.
However if you have obesity, hypertension and high cholesterol or other risk factors then you should take low dosage aspirin.
If you don't have any other risk factors then ni need to take aspirin.
Consult your treating doctor and plan accordingly.
