low white blood count -really worried!

Hi,
I low carb since having found to have pre diabetes, asked for a blood test last week as was having hot flushes! It has come back with a low white blood count, plus two other readings to do with the white cell count low. Plus my HBA1c had gone up to 39mmol, 5.7% so that has gone up despite strict low carbing over the years, really hacked off with the hba1c going up as I have problem keeping my weight on, plus I try to keep lower fat as my cholesterol is on the high side since low carbing, perfect before! So what an earth can I eat to improve my hba1c and keep my weight on....
Anyway I phoned up through my health insurance to speak to a nurse as I can't get a gps appointment in advance till next week, will try and get one tomorrow to ask what these figures could mean, she said could be body responding to an infection (none that I know of), or leukemia or another underlying problem.
Anyone else had this problem.
Also what can I do to improve my hba1c and keep my weight on!!
 
Well I got my next blood test back and it was normal for two things and still low for one, so obviously a lot better!

One reason I posted on here was to see if it was a problem other low carbers have had, but obviously not!
