I got 48 for my Hbac1...that's ok isn't it?But apparently while everything else came back as normal I was told my "blood count" is showing as abnormal. And the doctor has asked me to do another blood test for the blood count in 6 weeks time.What does that mean? What's going to change in 6 weeks on it's own? And what on earth are they measuring with "blood count". When I googled it all i got was red and white blood cell stuff.......but when I asked the receptionist to give me the numbers...she said it was broken down into 3 parts, sodium, potassium, and creatinine. The numbers for them were:Sodium - 142Potassium - 4.8Creatinine - 66Googling the numbers seemed to suggest I was in range...so what's abonrmal...or are those numbers not part of the blood count?Am I in trouble? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />Please let me know what all this means <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Thank you in advance for your help.</blockquote>
