I hope you've had a great consult with your specialist by now and are all sorted out. Just wanted to note that hemochromatosis is genetically complex, you can have mild symptoms if you have part of the genetic combo for it, or severe if you have the whole compliment. I noticed you were concerned about your A1C- hemochromatosis is known to cause both an artificially high A1C and actual type 2 diabetes.
And as to the whole thread- excellent thread and excellent OP. NPs today are a menace, check out CNMs and related midlevel obstetrics providers, both in and out of hospital, for further lulz and horrors.
Ah, yes. I forgot about this thread! I did meet with the doctor and my blood work she ran in-house came back in the normal ranges.
So I've no idea what was happening. My A1c is now 5.2, mostly because of fasting and not eating as many carbs.
It's wierd and I'll probably never know why my blood work came back abnormal for a few months. The doctor said sleep apnea is the most frequent cause of this, and I do have a mild case. But I don't know why if it was sleep apnea why the values would be elevated only temporarily, but I guess that's because I'm not a doctor.
