Intervention(s)
Study arms:
Women with pregestational diabetes are randomized to receive aspirin 75mg or no aspirin.

Intervention:
Aspirin Acetylsalycylic Acid 75mg tablet (Nu-Seals®PA 943/6/1) once daily by oral ingestion from first trimester (initiated between 8+0 and 11+6 weeks) to 36 weeks gestation for women with pregestational diabetes mellitus (type I or II).
Primary Outcome(s)
1. Proportion of eligible women who agree to participate in the pilot study
2. Compliance with the study protocol, as judged by platelet function monitoring
3. Proportion of study participants who complete the study, with complete ascertainment of laboratory markers of glycaemic control, renal function and platelet function at all scheduled timepoints

Will be measured within 4 weeks of delivery of each participant (i.e. within 35 weeks of recruitment).
Secondary Outcome(s)
Examination, through dynamic platelet function assay, of antiplatelet effect among women with pregestational diabetes when compared with platelet function in diabetic women not taking antiplatelet therapy.

Will be measured within 4 weeks of delivery of each participant (i.e. within 35 weeks of recruitment).
