Hi, Doctor

In fact, in government hospitals, they do not give us the result of the tests they have in the hospital
But if you need this analysis I will do it in a private hospital and send it to you
My weight before this problem was 75 kg now 57 kg (in three years I lost 18 kg) and there seems to be no improvement
Sometimes I feel tired and loss of appetite depends on my condition but I complain of a lack of sleep during the night

I would like to add some notes
The problem started on 18-3-2016 since that time and I lose my weight (report attachment)
I use the supplements instead of metformin such as
BLOOD SUGAR,COMPLETIA AND CHROMIUM PICOLINTE

Brief Answer:
3 reports suggested.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the details.

* The sequential evaluation requires various diagnostic approach as lab series, radiology
in terms of x-ray chest, ultrasound and colonoscopy at the age of 58 years.

* At the first instance, you should get
(1) 3 month average blood sugar for precise evaluation of diabetic control which is
known as HbA1c report.
(2) Fresh Vitamin D level as it was insufficient in March report.
(3) Stool report microscopy ( to check for any occult blood loss )

Once the metabolic profile is being confirmed, we can figure out rest of the procedures needed to find out the cause and manage accordingly.

Thank you.
