🫀 Type 2 Diabetes and Heart Failure – Are You Aware of the Link?

Most people know that diabetes can affect your eyes, kidneys and nerves…

But did you know it can also increase your risk of heart failure?

People with type 2 diabetes are up to 2.5 times more likely to develop heart failure—often with subtle or easily missed symptoms like:

🔸 Breathlessness
🔸 Tiredness or fatigue
🔸 Swollen ankles or feet
🔸 Needing to p*e more at night
🔸 Getting puffed out easily on exertion

If this sounds familiar—don’t ignore it.

A simple blood test called NT-proBNP can help detect early signs of heart failure, even before it becomes serious.

👩‍⚕️ At CAS Medical, our private GP service offers:
✔️ Thorough health assessments
✔️ NT-proBNP blood testing
✔️ Clear and personalised advice

🩺 It’s quick, it’s simple—and it could make a real difference to your health.

Diabetes and heart failure are closely connected, yet most type 2 diabetes patients don’t know about their risk. Understanding this link is important because getting a CVD risk assessment can aid the timely health intervention. It’s time to take action for better heart health.

As we mark 2 years of CAS Medical, a recent business update made me pause and reflect…

🔙 67% of my patients are returning clients.

At first, I brushed it off. But then it hit me — this means something deeply personal and important. It speaks to the trust, care, and satisfaction my patients feel at CAS Medical.

As a private GP, this is what matters most. It’s not just about numbers — it’s about relationships, consistency, and doing right by people.

Thank you to every patient who puts their trust in me. 🙏

Women with dense breasts are at higher risk of cancer and less likely to benefit from existing screening. Additional scans could help.

“Research published in the journal Human Reproduction reveals that women with endometriosis are at a significantly higher risk for developing a range of autoimmune, autoinflammatory, and mixed-pattern diseases.

The new study, of unprecedented scale, examines not only clinical associations, but also for the first time the biological basis for these comorbidities - through genetics. It identifies osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, coeliac disease, and psoriasis among the comorbid conditions significantly linked to endometriosis.” https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2025-04-28-new-research-reveals-shared-genetic-link-between-endometriosis-and-immune-conditions
