I strongly suspect lab error. History of breast cancer has nothing to do with the albumin/globulin and low globulin, low volume will increase both A & G, not albumin alone. You need to to have another fasting blood sugar and HbA1C at the same time for confirming or ruling out type 2 diabetes mellitus if you are not a diabetic. Please patiently wait for the results of repeat test(s). Take care.
