Dr. Olivia Liao answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

Need further workup: These are two unrelated conditions. For the iron deficiency, look for a reason (poor diet, blood loss) and then supplement the diet for the low blood sugar, attn to diet is all that is needed.

Blood test showed low iron saturation at 14%, normal 20-40%. Only other abnormal lab was elevated B12 at 1297. I do take a B12 supplement because I was told years ago I was deficient. Are these concerning??
