🩸 November is Diabetes Awareness Month

Diabetes is a condition when your blood sugar (glucose) is too high and it happens when your pancreas doesn’t make enough insulin or any at all.

Understanding the different types is the first step towards awareness and management.
1. Diabetes Type 1
An autoimmune condition where the body mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells (beta cells) in the pancreas
2. Diabetes Type 2
It develops when the body either doesn't use insulin well (insulin resistance) or can't produce enough insulin to keep blood sugar levels normal.
3. Gestational diabetes
It develops during pregnancy, which usually resolves after delivery but increases the mother's and baby's risk for developing Diabetes type 2 later.

🩺 Early detection = better control.

You've trained the mileage, you've dialled in the nutrition... but what about the most important muscle in your race?

Marathon running places significant, sustained stress on your cardiovascular system. A Pre-Exercise Cardiac Screen is about more than just clearing you to run—it's about:
• 🔍 Detecting hidden risks: Identifying underlying conditions you might not know about.
• 😌 Peace of mind: Giving you the confidence to push your limits safely.
• 🥇 Optimal performance: Ensuring your engine is running at its absolute best.

Don't leave your health to chance. Reach out to us about getting screened before your next marathon. Your strongest marathon starts with a healthy heart!

October 29th is World Stroke Day.

Every minute counts! Do you know the signs of a stroke? Knowing the F.A.S.T. acronym is critical—it can save a life.
F - Face Drooping
A - Arm Weakness
S - Speech Difficulty
T - Time to call 995!

A stroke is a medical emergency. If you see any of these signs, call immediately!

Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and a major, independent risk factor for stroke. AFib causes an irregular heartbeat, which can lead to blood clots forming in the heart. These clots can travel to the brain and cause a severe stroke.

Take the 30-Second Challenge:
1. Find your pulse on your wrist or neck.
2. Count the beats for 30 seconds (or feel for irregularity).
3. If it feels wildly irregular, very fast, or fluttering, make an appointment to see your doctor!

Early detection of an arrhythmia allows for treatment that can significantly lower your stroke risk. Be proactive about your heart health!

Lipoprotein(a) or Lp(a) is an under-recognized but important risk factor for heart disease, especially in people with a family history or unexplained early cardiovascular events.

Testing for Lp(a) may help identify at-risk individuals who would otherwise be missed by standard cholesterol screening.

Lipoprotein (a) affects your high cholesterol risk. A cardiologist from The Harley Street Heart & Vascular Centre explains more on the topic.

Understanding the types of Stroke is essential - because every second counts.

Ischemic
Caused by a blood clot blocking a vessel in the brain.

Hemorrhagic
Caused by a rupture blood vessel in the brain.

Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
Temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain. It's a serious warning sign that a full stroke could occur in the future.

Not all strokes are the same - but all are serious. Understanding the basics can help save lives.
