I reversed osteoporosis without drugs

With a -2.6 that is a different picture and it makes sense to see if you are losing bone via blood tests. Or another DEXA in a year (we can sometimes get this approved or pay for it: Someone said it is $400). You could try to find a TBS test (trabecular bone score) .
It seems like you have some other pressing problems! Do you wear a CGM? One of my kids has type 1 and two had ketotic hypoglycemia that dropped blood sugars overnight. They all do a snack with protein (and maybe a little fat) before bed. For years I got up to test the type 1 kid at 1 am and 3 am but the CGM alarm takes care of that now!
Heart rate in the 30's sounds pretty dicey and I hope you have a good cardiologist! It is hard having multiple issues and at -2.6 it might seem the bone issue could wait a bit 🙂

My numbers on heart rate & blood sugar are from Apple Health App & my CGM is temporary & from Zoe so no alarm. Assuming they are accurate, I will tell my doctor, either next visit or first visit if I can find someone else. Do doctors take readings from these devices seriously? I have found a TBS an hour away but unless I can get my doctor to say it’s medically necessary I have to pay over $700 for it. I have no cardiologist & really have not taken these data too seriously but maybe I should. Thank you for your feedback!
