[QUOTE="SQ71, post: 2294347, member: 528383"] Update: Saw the dr today. Told fasting levels were fine and not to worry about the blood sugar spike and feeling unwell, as apparently this is just something that happens to people after clean eating for a while (herself included), when they overload the carbs/ sugar. Advice: Just don't have the blips and blood sugar spikes in the first place, but if I do, to drink loads, and exercise to get it down. She refused any repeat tests or further exploration and advised me that the earliest she will repeat HBA1C and lipids is early Jan 2021, which will be 7 months from when I had my last tests. She was also not concerned that I have been recording some really low BP readings. They are not dangerously low, but are super-low for me. On initial diagnosis of hypertension 12 months ago, my BP was 200/120, stabilised at 140/80 with a combo of 2 meds, but recently I have been getting readings as low as 100/75. Outcome: No adjustments made to chlorthalidone and cilazipril. Just adding that today I saw my regular GP and not the stand-in that I saw 9 weeks ago, who had said repeat tests would be done after 3 months, so conflicting info between Drs [emoji848] I guess I just need to get on with eating clean, losing weight, and hopefully by Jan the numbers will be down.
