What is your total iron level?

your h&h are a little low....you're a bit anemic. You should see a hematologist.

your ferritin is really really low.

The iron stuff is the only thing that jumps out at me too (HCT,HGB,Ferritin). Are you taking any iron supplements? Except for the Ferritin the numbers are pretty close and may not raise a flag for your Doc.

No concern about the high B12 it just washes out. 

Any issues with low blood sugar? I'm coming in at about 4.0 and my endocrinologist 
just has me on the lookout for issues but none yet.

I assume there is other blood work? I would like to see more comprehensive blood work at 6 months.  Post the rest of your blood work,  you are missing some very important markers, but with what you have posted you need iron infusions, you are beyond oral, if indeed your ferritin is 4,  ferritin,

sorry for the repeats, not posting correctly

My ferritin is 11 not 4. I didn't even notice that.
