[QUOTE="Honeyend, post: 2211992, member: 430576"] Consultants will often only stick to opinions on their own speciality, which you obviously have over lapping treatment/conditions. The steriods will effect your blood sugars, and if you are unwell or stressed that will raise them to. As your Hba1c is a normal range, it will not flag anything up, the low carb will mask the symptoms, I have had the same conversation, my bloods are good because I low carb. If I want to test it to distruction, I can eat cake and go back in three months. I think you will not get all things covered in one speciality, and yes you hardly ever see the consultant, the norm now seems to deligate to minions, who seem never to read your notes. I would start with what problem that worries you the most, and work on that. Its a good idea to have a look at the NICE guidelines, for your conditions, because that is what they should be working to, which can be good way to work out why they are or are not doing things and what they could have missed. [URL]https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance[/URL] I have decided that I will pay for a consultation and any tests, because I know through the GP I am not going to tick the box. The underlying condition that caused my diabetes is ongoing so it could get worse at any time. The last GP I saw yesterday, which was not about my diabetes, his level of knowledge was appalling and information given completely incorrect. [/QUOTE]
