Hi there.
Here are my S-OGTT results:
Glucose 0' 4.2 mmol/L Ketones 0' neg Neg
Acetoacetate 0' neg Neg
Glucose 120' 2.8 mmol/L Ketones 120' neg Neg
Acetoacetate 120' Neg Neg
I know everything is within range, but I guess I'm wondering if it's actually normal for sugar to drop that low after two hours? That looks like hypoglycemia to me. What could be causing this? Should I go see an endocrinologist or some other specialist?
Also, because my iron levels were high (44, ref.int. 8-30), my hematologist sent me to get tested for hemochromatosis.
Results:
DNA analysis confirmed a heterozygote for the H63D mutation (genotype HD)
After cutting out the few foods that actually contain high iron, here are the blood counts:
Iron 29.1mmol/L (8-30)
UIBC 23.3 mmol/L (26-59)
TIBC 52.3 mmol/L (49-75)
Fe saturation 55.6 % (15-50)
Ferritin 76 ng/mL (5-148)
CBC - everything is within the standard reference intervals, except:
MCV 100.4 fL (83-97.2)
MCH 35.2 pg (27.4-33.9)
MCHC 350 g/L (320-345)
Reticulocytes 3.4 /10^3Erc (5-21.6)
Reticulocytes 14.0 x10^9/L (19-109)
CMP - all within reference intervals
Serum protein electrophoresis - all within ref.int.
ESR 3 mm/3.6ks (4-24)
Vitamin B12 and folic acid - within ref.int.
IgG and IgA within ref.int.
IgM 2.83 g/L (0.4 - 2.3)
Protein immunofixation - normal result.
I know this is a lot, but does any of this mean anything to you? I've never had this many values outside the normal range before, and maybe I'm just panicking a bit.
Are there any other tests I should consider doing? I have a follow-up appointment with the hematologist next week to review all of this, but I feel like they're already making light of the situation, so I want to be prepared.
Thanks.
