OK, thank you so much. Thank you for answering my questions. I really don’t have anyone to talk to. I’m basically by myself thank you.
@Cuz no worries at all, Cuz. If you have any other questions or if there is something else I can help with, please do not hesitate to reach out.
@JayNJ thank you so much yeah life is rough sometimes man
I also been taking iron pills for the last month will that help and he told me to take it every other day is it every day better or every other day? thank you
@Cuz that is something to ask your doctor or a diabetic nutritional specialist. Low iron is one cause, but not the only cause of anemia.
Because I feel like tired so much
I’m just wondering, will the diabetes cause it
@Cuz anemia and diabetes do not directly cause each other. They can be related and make each other worse.
@JayNJ ok. Thank. You
Thank you very much I do I have diabetes. Well that caused the well that causes it will Diabetes c
Anemia refers to not have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout your body. Not having enough oxygen will definitely make you feel tired. Hemoglobin in the red blood cells also carry sugar. This is why your doctor monitors your "Hemoglobin A1c." Hopefully your doctor is also checking other to find the cause. Diabetics in particular need to worry about kidney function (which can cause anemia), inflammation of the blood vessels (which can also cause anemia), some diabetic medications can cause anemia. Please talk to your doctor about possible causes and treatments. Hope this help and I hope you feel better.
