LOW WBC

[boyutica]

I am a 39 year old male, and recently I went for blood work.  My WBC was flagged as low.  It came back as 3.7.  I looked at my history for this and I noticed that it is slow coming down.  Back in 2007 it was 6.1, 2008 it was 5.9, 2009 it was 4.4 and this time 2011, 3.7.  

To give a little history, in 2007 I was very heavy.  I found out that I had diabetes and started to diet.  I wanted to lose weight, and not go on meds.  So I started to lose the weight.  Over the years I have lost 100lbs.  This weight lose coinsides with my WBC.  Gradully it started to go down as I was losing the weight.  Would me dieting effect my WBC?  My doctor doesn't seem to be concerned, so I guess I am just curious?

BTW:  Kudos on your weight loss; you look great!  

I am not too sure that dieting has affected your WBC.  However, I would recommend repeating the WBC lab in a month.

As far as I know doctors advise to take CBC in the morning before eating because food intake elevates ur WBC
so it might be due to ur diet
