Aspirin can affect glucose metabolism, potentially causing hypoglycemia, especially in diabetic patients. Regular blood glucose monitoring is advised.
Aspirin might influence lipid metabolism, possibly leading to altered cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Patients on long-term aspirin therapy often undergo periodic lipid profile tests.
