Question: These are readings from my recent blood test. White blood cell count = 12.4 thousand/ul
Hemoglobin = 10.4 g/dl., Hematocrit = 32.2%, MCV = 74.9 fl., MCh = 24.1, RDW 17.5%, Absolute Neutrophils = 8655 cells/ul, Hemoglobin A1c = 6.1%, Iron total = 19 mcg/dl, Saturation = 5% (calc), Glucose = 156mg/d?. I have been having a bad time with low energy in the morning with shallow breathing, I have been on iron and vit. b12 but I'm not improving at all. I am diabetic and am trying desperately to control it with diet but I'm guessing I'm not doing too well. I have cut out all grains in my diet and eat only fresh fruits and veggies along with chicken, pork and some red meat. I've tried prescription meds as well as supplements and I don't seem to be getting any better. I have achalasia which causes me distress as well as acid reflux. I have mitral valve prolapse in case that matters. I seem to be controlling my blood pressure pretty well and I thought I was doing well with my sugar. I'm trying to live without acid reflux meds but can't seem to go without Tums. I sure could use some advice about my health because my day to day life is becoming a real challenge. I am seeing a doctor on a regular basis but 15 minutes with her doesn't give me much information or understanding. Should I be concerned about my blood tests beyond the type 2 diabetes and low iron (which I know is a big part of my problem)? Please advise

Ok, so I will get back on my Metformin until I can get in to see my dr. Thank you for your advice. I was hoping I could do this without the meds but I guess not.
