I don't remember exactly, but it was far below the normal range. Other values were also very low and the red blood cells shrunk in size (=microcytic anemia).
Are you taking any iron supplements?
I remember times when I would become hypoglycemic at some point of the day, usually after I had some bread for breakfast (the alternative is cereals). I would experience a sudden onset of fatigue and vertigo after around 2 hours after breakfast and I had to eat something immediately. Now I don't experience it as much anymore. Maybe it was related to anemia, hmmm.
