Hello,

Most of these numbers are from a complete blood count.

WBC 15.5 is white blood cells. Normal is about 4.3-10.8. Higher than normal levels can be from infection or inflammation anywhere in the body.

Abs polys-12.0. Absolute polys are another name for neutrophils, which are a kind of white blood cells that fight bacterial or fungal infections. Abs. means the absolute count rather than a percentage. They comprise the majority of white blood cells.

Abs monos-0.9 is the absolute count of monocytes which are another type of white blood cells. Monocytes engulf bacteria.

MPV-11.5 is mean platelet volume. It's a calculated number that tells the average size of your platelets.

Rbc distr width-14.9 is red blood cell distribution width. It is a calculated number that is high in anemias.

Vit d:25-hydroxy refers to Vitamin D measured as Vitamin D2.

CRP-2.28 is C-reactive protein which is increased in any kind of inflammation anywhere in the body.

Glucose-68 is, of course glucose, and a level of 68 for fasting glucose is jsut outside the American Diabetes Association guidelines of 70-99 mg/dL.

The other two numbers glycosylated hgb and hemoglobin A1C refer to how much glucose your red blood cells have been exposed to over a longer period of time. While your regular glucose was 68 mg/dL, this is just a snapshot of what it was when you were fasting especially for this blood test. The other numbers are an average over teh past 3 months. Normal A1C is under 7.0% for diabetics and under 4.0-5.9% for non-diabetics. A reading of 6.8% is equivalent to about 150 mg/dL.

You cannot make a diagnosis from a blood test. The general impression from these isolated tests is some kind of infection or inflammation with moderately well-controlled diabetes.
