How can I raise hemoglobin with diabetes?

Patient's Query

Good afternoon , My health reports iam diabetic patient and also my hemoglobin is 11.4 so please suggest medicine to improve hemoglobin levels

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Having diabetes can sometimes affect your hemoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen in your blood, and a level of 11.4 is slightly below the normal range. This could be due to various factors like nutritional deficiencies or even medications. To improve your hemoglobin, it's important to focus on a balanced diet rich in iron, vitamin B12, and folic acid. Including foods like leafy greens, beans, nuts, and lean meats can help. Additionally, your endocrinologist may recommend iron supplements if needed.

I am 18yrs old......my gender is female....I have so many dizziness and I was test my haemoglobin and it's is 18.6 is this high or low

Female | 18

A hemoglobin level of 18.6 is already a high value. This may be what is behind your dizziness. In addition, high hemoglobin can also result in headaches and red skin. It might be dehydration, lung diseases, or heart problems. To decrease hemoglobin levels, drink more water, refrain from smoking, and work out regularly. Iron-rich foods such as broccoli and beans can also help.

I have WBC 4.53 out of 5-10 normal range. My Neutrophils NEU % 43.3 with normal range 50-62 and lymphoctes lym% 49.2 with normal range 25-40. What does this mean? I used 2 weeks antibiotics for my UTI but this was 3 months ago

Female | 24

Your most recent blood test results show that your leukocyte count and various kinds of cells are slightly outside the range of normal. This might suggest that your body is still in the process of recovering from the urinary tract infection you had three months ago. The antibiotics you have been taking could influence these numbers, too. Ensure you drink enough water, consume a healthy diet, and observe any new symptoms that may arise.

i am 29 years old , recently i took blood test in that my esr level is 50 , is it bad?

Female | 29

An ESR reading of 50 might mean there is some kind of inflammation in the body. Possible infections, autoimmune diseases, or even a few cancers can be the cause of this. Typical symptoms of inflammation include fever, fatigue, and aching of the body. To handle this, it is necessary to identify the main reason by doing other tests and talking to a doctor.

One person has a cut on his hand . It was bleeding. I ate food from his hand. If that person is hiv positive. Does it transfer to me??

Female | 48

HIV is primarily transferred through some body fluids like blood. If someone with a cut on their hand eats saliva-containing food, the saliva does not carry enough virus to infect you. Being cautious will make sure to see out for symptoms include flu-like illness and talk to your doctor if you are concerned.

I had a sex contact and took Hive test on 25th Jan. Non-reactive (Feb-2) Next test (Feb-28) and LIST test (May-02) Non-reactive - now should I test?

Male | 32

A "non-reactive" result indicates that the test did not detect HIV antibodies or antigens in your blood at the time of testing. And you have consistently received non-reactive results over a span of a few months. However, for definitive advice regarding testing intervals and your specific situation, it's essential to consult a professional who specializes in sexual health or infectious disease

Hi! I’m 28 years old woman. After I lost a pregnancy at 6 weeks, last year in December, we decided to try again. Now, I’m pregnant again in 3 weeks and my doctor suggested a trombophilia test. The results came few minutes ago. Can you help with it? Thanks in advance!

Female | 28

Factor 2 and Factor V Leiden te­sts were negative­ - that's good news. However, an MTHFR mutation was de­tected. This means your body may struggle­ to break down certain B vitamins. Additionally, the PAI-1 ge­ne varies slightly, indicating potential diffe­rences in blood clotting.

I am a thalassemia carrier. The doctor did not know that. He gave me a multivitamin. Which contains iron. Is it safe for me?

Female | 20

As a thalassemia carrier, your body produces less hemoglobin, which can sometimes lead to mild anemia. Taking iron supplements can lead to excess iron accumulation, which may not be safe for you. It's crucial to avoid unnecessary iron intake unless prescribed by an physician. I recommend discussing your multivitamin with your doctor, who can provide personalized advice based on your health status. In the meantime, focus on a balanced diet rich in vitamins and nutrients. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions; your health is important, and professional guidance is key.

Many factors can cause nose­bleeds. Dry air and allergie­s may play a role. High blood pressure too. Ye­t, dizziness, and fatigue raise conce­rns.

Female | 45

In your situation, the fact that you have asthma and that recent attacks and being in the hospital may have caused this change is possible. High platelets can be associated with easy bruising, bleeding, and fatigue. So, ensure that your asthma is under control and that you see your doctor for further evaluation and advice on medication to lower your platelet count.

You might have a sickle­ cell crisis happening. Sickle-shape­d blood cells can clog vessels, blocking oxyge­n. Headaches, stomach pains, and vomiting signal this crisis. If vomit's gree­n or yellow, it's bile from your stomach. Head to the­ hospital for treatment.

Male | 23

The results of your blood test are nearly within the normal limits. You have a low platelet count, which can be caused by different factors including infections or drugs. Equivalent mean platelet volume does not suggest cancer. It could perhaps be indicative of disorders like platelet destruction. If you do feel difficulties such as abnormal bleeding or bruises, do consult a hematologist.
