Cytoplan Blood Glucose Support is not a good thing for a hypo to take because it contains zinc and copper. Hypos are usually high in one (very often copper) and therefore low in the other. And taking more of the one you're high in will lower the other one even further. So, they both should be tested before supplementing them in any way.
Are you planning to stop your magnesium supplement because of the magnesium in this multi-mineral? If so, that's not a good idea because there's not enough of it. And, if you're taking vit D you need a constant supply of enough magnesium - usually about 350 mg - to support the vit D, and do everything else it does. And you're probably deficient in magnesium, anyway, most people are.
Serum Vitamin B12 239 ng/L [200 - 900]
Dangerously low. Are you vegetarian? If not, your doctor should be testing you for Pernicious Anemia. Your folate is also low, should be in double figures.
Hi you would be better to get checked for pernicious anaemia before you start to supplement b12 and the complex as that will just skew your results. Jo xx
You definitely need a separate B12 as well as vitamin B complex
With serum B12 result below 500, (Or active B12 below 70) recommended to be taking a separate B12 supplement
A week later add a separate vitamin B Complex
Then once your serum B12 is over 500 (or Active B12 level has reached 70), you may be able to reduce then stop the B12 and just carry on with the B Complex.
If Vegetarian or vegan likely to need ongoing separate B12 few times a week
Thanks. To keep my HbA1c in range, I also have to much reduce the amount of potatoes and grains I consume. Eating a lot more leafy greens means my folate level is fine.
The thing is, if your thyroid hormones are not optimised, your blood sugar can go up, as can your cholesterol. Once your thyroid is working properly, the ranges will come down. This is why it is essential to have the right levels of hormones, as this can sort out many other things that go with having to little thyroid hormones (glucose, cholesterol, brain fog...).
Many many moons ago, thyroid deficiency was picked up when people presented with elevated cholesterol or glucose levels.... before the over-reliance on the TSH testing...😢
I have used Ginko Biloba also in the past (many moons ago to prepare for an exam) and it has helped with clarity.
The problem is though, if your thyroid hormones are not optimised, taking Ginko Biloba will only have a limited effect, as it is not the underlying problem. The problem is the inadequate treatment of your thyroid. Once that is optimised (e.g., an increase) and properly treated, your brain fog will improve or even resolve. I had really bad brain fog when my GP insisted on reducing my thyroid hormones due to the suppressed TSH. The reduction did not change the TSH at all, but my free T3 and T4 fell and I was anxious, depressed, low on energy and had awful brain fog. After I ignored the GP and went back on my previous dose, all symptoms improved and the brain fog went as well.
