<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.My blood test showed absolute eosinophils of 4. I have diabetes and chronic inflammation arthritis always. What could cause such a low number? My A1C is always about 5.8 or so, tested every 3 months so Im pretty sure its not my diabetes. But could my arthritis be a result of that?  <response>: Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Low eosinophil count may be due to steroids treatment. However, low eosinophil count is mot a cause of concern no need to worry about that. Just be relaxed. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
