Just had my latest blood test results. Had one a month ago & my nurse was concerned over my liver function numbers, so had another test last week. In the meantime I've been a bit more disciplined with my low carb diet & been hiking more than usual. My average carb intake over the month has been 73g per day, & my average Bg has been 6.3 on my self tests. I've even managed to lose a stone!
The numbers yesterday were good from a diabetes perspective:-
Glucose level 6.1
HDL Cholesterol 1.3
Total Cholesterol 3.9
Cholesterol/HDL ratio 2.5
Trigs 1.5 (I think that's high - but my nurse says it's OK)
The new concern is my Platelet count which is 130 against an acceptable range of 140-400. It was 128 last time but they didn't choose to mention it! I don't have a family history of Haemophilia so this is a worry.
Has anyone come across a diabetes related cause for this sort of thing?
Thanks
