Little bit low.: I'd expect your hemoglobin to be a bit higher than it is. Not that this number is compromising your health in any way or indicative of any serious disease - don't take this the wrong way - but it's a tad low. You may want to have it repeated and see a GI doctor if it remains in this lowish range.
