Hi,
We had an interesting discussion about this on another thread recently. I will try and find it and link to it.
Iron seems to play a very important role for diabetes, in that low iron (anaemia) can affect the HbA1c result. Might be worth you discussing that with your doc, since another test is available for people with anaemia.
But too much iron can also be a problem, so you might want to ask your doc to check you are on the right dosage, and not getting to high.
There is even a form of diabetes caused by (I think) Haemachromatosis which is where a genetic variation causes high iron, and eventual organ damage leading to diabetes. The Wikkipedia article on it is a good basic intro.
So I suppose what I am saying is that it is brilliant to correct your anaemia, but don't go overboard and have excess iron. It is a bit like Goldilocks and the three bears
, not too much, nor too little, but just enough is perfect.
Here is that thread link I mentioned.
