Hi folks, My ferritin levels have been high for 3 years - consistently around 650 to 750. Have been tested for hemochromatosis and doesn't seem I have that gene. Doctors have no idea what is causing it and am told 'not to worry about it'. Commom sense tells me that I need to look into this but have no ideas. Can anyone suggest what my next step should be? I'm 58 years and type 2 diabetic otherwise healthy Thanks
