Anemia but already on iron supplements??
I’m a bit thrown on this. My glucose test was fine (yay!!) but my results are labeled as anemic. My doctor hasn’t called yet but it was uploaded with notes on my portal. Hematocrit is 32.2 and hemoglobin is 10.5.
I am vegetarian so I don’t eat meat, but I’ve been taking iron supplements (65mg) every day so I’m not sure what else can even be done.
Anyone dealt with this? What did you do? It’s not like I eat like crap- lots of vegetables (green peas and carrots every day). I’m just feeling frustrated because I’ve been trying so hard to combat this before it was a problem :(
