Dear Sir,
Sorry to hear about your problem. The urobilinogen value in your urine is slightly high and this can be due to some hemolytic process (in which red blood cells are being injured). This can be evaluated by doing a peripheral smear analysis. You should also get liver function tests done as they would indicate the level of bilirubin, which is a more sensitive indicator of liver function than urobilinogen.
Rest of your blood tests appear to be fine. HbA 1c of 5.7 indicates a good control of diabetes and you should try to maintain it within this range.
Hoping for the best. Please feel free to clarify any other query.
