When they check blood sugar they are checking to see if you are diabetic.
Low neutrophils can be transitory and is commonly caused by vitamin deficiencies e.g. vitamin B12, medications and some viral infections. They will need to retest you in a minimum of 8 weeks but preferably 3-4 months to confirm that it is transitory. Even if it isn't it can be benign so unless you are having loads of bacterial infections e.g. skin, cystitis then you shouldn't worry about it.
Thanks for the reply. I have had so many tests for diabetes before as I was quite overweight but not found my cholesterol is low but this low blood sugar is a mystery and I have lost six stones so things should be better not worse. Never mind all in the way of things.
Alice, I think I found your 6 stones.
I am working toward an eight plus stone loss and it's great never hungry so much more energy and new clothes joined slimming world last sept. Just need to get my symptoms right the muscle aches are horrid and the dip in mood hard to control.
