Researchers at the University of Leeds want to understand why diabetes and heart failure so often occur together and make each other worse. This study will collect blood and tissue samples from 600 people in different groups—some with diabetes only, some with heart failure only, some with both, and some with neither—to see how these two conditions interact at the cellular and molecular level.
Right now, doctors know that when someone has both diabetes and heart failure, the combination is particularly serious and harder to treat. However, we don't fully understand *why* these diseases make each other worse at a biological level. This research aims to fill that gap so doctors can develop better treatments in the future.

If you join this study, you will donate blood and possibly tissue samples during one or more clinic visits. The researchers will also review your medical records and may ask you questions about your health history. The study is observational, meaning researchers are studying your samples in the lab rather than giving you a new medication to take—they simply want to understand what's happening in your body at a cellular level.
