[|Human|] Had blood work done as part of my usual work up at the dr as I am a type 2 diabetic. During routine blood work my platelet count was low. Rechecked in 3 months and it was still low at 130. I have had no excess bleeding or bruising. What could be causing this and should I be overly worried? Thank you
[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Normal platelet count is 1.4 to 4.5 lack per CCMM. Your count is 1.3 lack.  It is slightly lower than normal.  So no need to worry.  Some viral infection can lead low count.  Some people have this type of low count as normal variation.  So if your other blood counts are normal and you don't have any symptoms then nothing to worry. Just be relaxed. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
