Group 7-day waking average?

Saw the GP this afternoon. Went through lots of detail and reviewed meds plus the supplements I take.
All of them are fine apart from biotin. He said it plays havoc with lots of blood tests so yes I can continue to take it, no it doesn’t have any negative impact on medications but the guidance is to stop taking it three days before any blood test.
He did say that Mounjaro and metformin can interfere with each other and cause very low blood sugar levels. I pointed out that I had my first “wobble” two years ago and only started taking MJ in September. So that’s unlikely to be the cause.
He doesn’t think it’s postural and said it would be very unusual symptoms for TIA, but of course medicine isn’t perfect etc…
First step is full suite of bloods and an ECG. Then it’ll be a three day harness ECG thing and a referral to neurology.
 
Well hello again (at last).

After my life has bern turned up side down, my wife being hospitalised again, a better outcome eventually, things are better and more stable. My wife is home, much happier, on better meds too.

My blood pressure has been through the roof but has settled down again.

My blood glucose has been fine all through the various traumas and today just to celebrate this morning it was 5.2 and this even it was 5.2. Yes, a double HS today.

Sorry I have been away for so long but lifes trials have left me crushed but things will continue to improve given time.

Nice to see you back, we were wondering how you were but realised you would no doubt be here when you were ready. I hope your wife is more settled now and her new meds will be more satisfactory.
But do take care of yourself as well and take things day at a time.
 
@Gwynn - great to see you back on here and with some positive news (and a double HS to boot!). Sending you all my best wishes and be kind to yourself.

And just for you, I thought you’d perhaps have a chuckle at this one :
