Brief Answer:
Diabetes, Vitamin D deficiency
Detailed Answer:
Hello, I'm Dr. Branch, thanks for using 'Ask a Doctor'. I have looked over your results, and the main things I have noticed are that you have diabetes (HgA1c is over 6.5 which is diagnostic for diabetes mellitus), and severe vitamin D deficiency. If you are not already being treated for diabetes or getting Vitamin D supplementation, you should discuss this with your doctor.
As for the other results, it was all basically normal. There are some abnormal values (lymphocyte count, MCHC), but the other counts were normal, and so that means these abnormalities are nothing to be concerned about. It is very common to have some values outside the normal range anytime all these tests are done, so by themselves they are not something we worry about, only if a pattern for some disease can be seen, which is not the case for you.
I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any other questions about that, and I would be glad to discuss it with you further.

Brief Answer:
Weight loss is important for diabetes
Detailed Answer:
Yes, if you were to lose weight, this can sometimes reverse diabetes, and you may not need treatment for it in the future. For now, I would recommend that you start Metformin, which can also help you to lose weight, and later on, you may be able to stop taking it.
MCHC is the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, which is basically a measure of the concentration of hemoglobin in each red blood cell. But as long as the hemoglobin is normal, you are not anemic, and the MCHC is not so important.
Please let me know if you have any other questions, I'd be glad to help any way I can.

would i be considered anemic ?
would i be considered anemic ?
Brief Answer:
Anemia is based on hemoglobin, which is normal for you
Detailed Answer:
No, you would not be considered anemic, since anemia is based on hemoglobin, yours is normal.
This makes the MCHC basically irrelevant, as we normally only look at it in patients who are anemic.
