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.
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.
Hemoglobin levels are considered low if they are below 12 in women, and below 13 in males.
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.
Hemoglobin levels are considered high in both males and females if they cross 16. 16 is okay and one can keep a track so that it doesnt exceed higher limits of hemoglobin counts.
