Hello and welcome to HCM,
Low hemoglobin is called anemia and there are many causes of anemia.
Certain investigations are required to diagnose anemia.
A complete hemogram and peripheral blood smear examination are minimum investigations required to diagnosis of anemia.
Anemia is caused by deficiency of elements required for blood formation.
Blood loss and decreased production of red blood cell are other causes.
The blood glucose level is also raised.
You need to consult a primary healthcare provider.
Thanks and take care
