Higher values of hemoglobin that is more than 16-17 in men and women indicate a underlying medical condition. This happens mostly because your body requires an increased oxygen carrying capacity. Additionally, it has been reported that it thickens the blood too making the body suceptible to medical conditions such as headaches.
Patients with diabetes are more susceptible to anemia. So, maintain your blood sugar levels and stay vigilant about anemia. Check your blood sugar levels regularly.
If you have good control over diabetes then the good news is that HBA1C can drop by 10%. But if your levels are higher than 7.5 then the drop is slower.
A high HbA1c means you have too much sugar in your blood. This means you are more likely to develop diabetes complications, like serious problems with your eyes and feet
It has been found that fruits and vegetables such as bananas, apples, apricots, papayas, tomatoes, spinach and water melon are known to increase hemoglobin levels in the body.
