Hmmm
Anaemia is well known for mucking up HbA1c results, and making them inaccurate.
This link will explain better than I can.

Different types of anaemia have different effects on HbA1c, so you may want to pursue this with the doc.
No wonder you are tired and lacking in energy!
Are you getting breathless too? I have read that that happens with anaemia.
There is a different kind of blood test called a Fructosamine test that is available (although not all docs know about it) which is more accurate than the HbA1c for anaemics. You could try asking your doc for that.
