What does this mean????

Dear Doctor,
I have just received a letter from my consultant in London.
The end bit says:
"you do have a relatively low basal cortisol of 127nmol/L and an unrecordable serum ACTH. In view of the latter findings I think it important that we should informally exclude pituitary deficiency and I have organised pituitary function testing"
I have just went for my test, an insulin test (stress test).
I was given a copy of my blood result from last week:
ACTH <1.1 ng/L (0 - 50)
Cortisol 127 nmol/L 08.00hr - 09.00hr (185 - 624 nmol/L)
What "could" this mean????
