I have been told today that I need an iron infusion because I have very bad levels of Anaemia, so I am wondering if having anaemia can also cause high levels in the blood as mine does not seem to want to go down no matter what I eat or not eat?
 
There's been research that indicates that while being anemic doesn't cause hypo's, it can give a high reading when one isn't actually high, and people on insulin might overshoot because of it. So do be careful and take your measurements with a grain of salt until you have had your infusion. Just err on the side of caution a little, I'd guess?

Hypoglycemia and anemia are not related conditions, but they can share similar symptoms and some of the same root causes. Learn more here.

Hope you'll be back to good soon!
