Low haemoglobin, and easy weight gain

2017-03-04 09:34:29
I am a male and have had low haemoglobin (~11.0) since childhood. I have tried iron supplements but they have not had much effect. I guess because of this I have a tendency to gain weight very easily. I am not diabetic but my father and grandfather both have suffered from it. I want to know whether hypothyroidism has a role in this, or is it some other problem that is plaguing me.
