Okay, I’ve got a two week reprieve. Cheryl is out of the office for a while and I’ve called Jo Ann to get a copy of my lab report.

Here we go:
CBC’s = Complete Blood Count
My CBC’s consisted of eight (8) different tests. Five (5) of them are abnormal.
Hemoglobin 9.1 The Range is 12.0-15.0
Hematocrit 31 The Range is 36-46
MCV 75.4 The Range is 78-100
MCHC 29.4 The Range is 30-36
RDW 17.9 The Range is 11.5-14

My Iron is as follows:
Iron 25 The Range is 42-145
% SAT 7 The Range is 20-55

Translation – my anemia is worse.

Reason – don’t know why.

And do you know that they have moved the ranges for the LDL Cholesterol? The new ranges are 0-99. It was 0-130. My LDL is 124.

The GOOD news is – my A1c is 6.1

YES!!
