❤️🚨 Your heart could be struggling for oxygen without you even realising it.
Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) also known as coronary heart disease happens when the blood supply to the heart becomes reduced or interrupted, often because fatty deposits build up inside the coronary arteries. 🫀🩸

And here's what makes it important to recognise: some people have no obvious symptoms before they're diagnosed. ⚠️

🚩 Signs can include:
💥 Chest pain or pressure (angina)
😮‍💨 Shortness of breath
💢 Pain spreading to the arms, neck, jaw or back
😵 Feeling faint or light-headed
🤢 Feeling sick

Risk can be increased by factors including smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, physical inactivity, excess weight and family history. 🩺📊

And if a coronary artery becomes completely blocked, it can cause a heart attack. 🚨

🧠⚔️ PANCREAS vs HUMAN BEING: Who’s really to blame for diabetes?
Is diabetes simply a case of “too much sugar”or is your pancreas at the centre of a much more complex biological battle? 🩸🔬

Your pancreas plays a critical role in blood glucose control by producing insulin, the hormone that helps move glucose from your blood into your cells. But when insulin production or insulin action is impaired, blood glucose can rise. 📈

So what happens when the system starts to fail?
🧬 Why does insulin resistance develop?
🩸 What does the pancreas actually do?
⚠️ Why are some people more susceptible to type 2 diabetes?
🥗 How do lifestyle and genetics interact?
💊 And can diabetes be prevented or managed?
