We are just now home from the Endocrinologist. Jerry just had his bloodwork returned. alls well but hes not producing alot of insulin for himself. the doc did say that it was kind of early to be tested but we did anyhow, 2 mo after surgery, but we thought they might or do start working immediately. oh well we will wait and see we go back to the endocrinologist in 3 months.

Here is the run down of what was done..

His C peptide.. was 0.5 bilirubin(ast, Alt)are also high, usually the ALP is coming from the liver. If calcium and phosphatate measurements are abnormal, usually the ALP is coming from bone.

his thyroid, all kidney functions rest of bloodwork the complete panel all beautiful-dead center on them all!!!

now his A1c (measures glucose control over the 3 month period) was 7.8 --- recall he had test done at 2 months.. so thats actually good according to doc.
norm values are: 4.1 to 6.1
good control 6.2 to 7.0
moderate control 7.1 to 8.0
poor >8

So all in all doc was very impressed and encouraged and encouraging~! we wont have to return for 3 mos. then we will have more bloodwork then 2wks later another visit to see the results. So far so good!

oopps i just found other page.. damn.. LOL

white celll count.. 11.8 H.. norm 4.1-10. (not too over)
MCH 25.6 L (norm 26-32)
(mean cell(corpustle) hemoglobin-)"MCH") Often the MCV and MCH/MCHC values begin to fall before the actual anemia begins to develop; these changes represent the body's final attempts to continue producing red blood cells without an adequate supply of iron.
(but hes barely under so im not fretting this)

platelets 578 H (norm 140-440) again not too high over?
gran 8.4 H (norm 2.0-7.8) again just over...
(grans are granulocytes..
Granulocytes are white blood cells packed with tiny sacs of chemicals (granules). Granulocytic chemicals play a role in:
Destroying Microorganisms
Activating the Inflammatory Response, characterized by swelling, redness, warmth, and pain)
