Patients with iron deficiency anemia and hypoglycemia should eat more red dates and goji berries. In addition, they should maintain a balanced diet and avoid picky eating. When hypoglycemia occurs, it is also advisable to consume an appropriate amount of carbohydrates and fresh vegetables and fruits, which are very beneficial for recovery from low blood sugar. They can also moderately increase intake of high-fiber foods. For example, apples not only contain abundant vitamin C but also promote iron absorption.
