hya all,
was feeling ill so saw nurse other day for thyroid check etc, so being my diabetic nurse she did bloods 4 everything( i love her lol) to save me going back for them on the 20th, anyway just phoned 4 results and my hba1c is 5.9 from 7.2 yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy im so pleased thats just since basal bolus and ive had a few hiccups too,
the only other thing receptionist said was my white blood count is slightly low!! can anyone tell me what this means??????
thankyou in advance
amanda :D
 
well done!

white blood cells are the ones that fight infections. Im no expect but i would have thought a low white blood cell count means that you have more chance of getting infections and/or viruses?

Great news about the HbA1c!
 
Low white cell count could be anything, from"just you" to AIDS and all points in between. I suggest you go with whatever further investigations are suggested.
 
Well done on the A1c!

I'd ask for more details on the WBC but be aware that a lot of things can affect it, mine has been high (probably infection), low and everything in between at different times
