2. Or is it ok to go HB A1C without considering my low hemoglobin?
3. Or shall I go to test after improving my hemoglobin level ?
Please suggest...Thank you.

Yes.Low hemoglobin may falsely elevate HbA1C value.. First do Fasting blood sugar and 2 hr postprandial blood sugar..Control blood sugar based on fasting and post prandial sugar value. Take anemia treatment.. Better to do Hba1c, once hemoglobin above 13g/ dl.. Don't rely on Hba1c value even if you perform now as it may falsely high..
