I'm so glad that I found someone else's concern about low hemoglobin levels. First, I have Alpha Thalassemia. The severity level is still not known. I had eye surgery 3 months ago and the report of my blood work showed a hemoglobin level of 11.1 g/dl. My question is, since diabetics can check their glucose levels anytime they want with a device, can people like us purchase a hemoglobin monitor for the household so that we know how we're trending with our levels?
