blood disorder

[martuco]

I went for my reqular blood test and the technician called me back and told me that my blood did not seperate correctly.  he said he needed to take another two viles because the first samples came up like "slush" the second sample came up the same.  so now i have to go back.  i'm diabetic and take various suupplements to treat it.  have you ever heard about this?  the technician said the lighter part (after the centrifuged) should be yellow...mine was white...should i be concern?  i will go back next week but will stop taking many of my supplements.

If the information provided is accurate, you would prudently seek a consult with a hematologist for an evaluation of your blood. While it is possible that supplements caused the problem there are also various diseases that can produce the same result.

Sounds like the Phlebotomist [blood drawer] or the lab messed up your samples. Good idea to stop your supplements beforehand.
