This is very timely for me and much appreciated. First, I've noticed several Rx that are known for affecting blood sugar. I've wondered when does that become it's own challenge ler alone if taking more than one. I also have been wondering over time if there are any medical professional categories (if that's even an applicable word) with qualified people that work with patients on the Rx's they are taking in total, their impacts and interactions. I know there was at one time but I've never seen it mentioned any time recently.

I've seen several physicians in several locations over time per numerous employer moves. They seem in total to resent a patent questioning their Rx decisions and discussing the issues in any depth. Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated.

I am not sure if you have access to a Mayo Clinic but they offer a review of your medication looking for side effects and contradictions.

Most pharmacies also offer this as a one on one consultation. I know CVS where I live in Florida does. Many times I have had the pharmicist say this medication you have been prescribed is in contradiction to this or that medication.

Even my PCP (Mayo) caught a contradiction when I went in for treatment at a walk in clinic on weekend calling me at home saying the COVID medication I was prescribed at walk in clinic would have drastic impact on two of my medications and not to take it.
