Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lotties" data-source="post: 2211335" data-attributes="member: 517727">Anyone know where i can get these tests done and have them properly interpreted with some additional weightloss guidelines as I'm finding that hard despite, ZC for a month & VLCHF for ~another 6?Today's visit to my consultant rheumatologist was a bit of a curate's egg. I mentioned my GP ignored his request to investigate the indications of a fatty liver so he offered an ultrasound - I declined as low carb should be putting that to bed and my regular blood tests should indicate whether the liver is improving. Save the NHS some dosh. Maybe next time if results come through poor again.I did accept the lung function test as my breathing is getting worse despite the Prednisolone. Declined another chest x-ray- didn't see the point if the only treatment for me is steroids; I can't tolerate the other options. Got quizzed at high speed about why if my lungs were bad at the 7.5mg that they dropped it to and I put it briefly back up to 10mg over Xmas, why was I now only taking 8mg. I also tried to discuss my low HbA1C but high blood sugars when eating any carbs. He offered anothe HbA1C but said December's was good at 38. No mention of the fact that the 12 hour fasting BG was 6.5 and marked as random and GP even refused to do that only the HbA1C.I didnt disagree and told him wasn't surprised after nigh 6 months of low-carb  but wasn't allowed to get a word in about IR. I did ask for c-peptide as my BG still races up over 12 on a single slice of bread home test and was asked why I wanted it as it was for hyperinsulinemia.All this in 4 mins,  mind.GAH!He did ask if I could stick low-carb and when I said yes, he said do that then.No chance to ask for a blood pressure test. Last time was 165 over something.</blockquote>
