Cardiovascular Outcomes Observed with Ticagrelor versus Clopidogrel in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Meta-analysis
ConclusionsIn these T2DM patients with ACS, a significantly lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events including all-cause mortality was observed in the ticagrelor group compared with the clopidogrel group. However, T2DM patients who were assigned to ticagrelor showed a significantly higher minor bleeding risk. Larger clinical trials should be able to confirm these hypotheses.

Ticagrelor Versus Prasugrel for the Treatment of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
ConclusionTicagrelor and prasugrel were not associated with significantly different adverse clinical outcomes and bleeding events in these patients with T2DM. Therefore, both antiplatelet agents might safely be used in patients with T2DM following coronary intervention. However, this head-to-head comparison still remains a major challenge which should be resolved in larger clinical trials.
