Although some of the symptoms of iron deficiency anemia and hypoglycemia are similar, they are two completely different conditions, and there is no link between them. Nevertheless, one may develop both at the same time if exposed to the same causes, such as:

• Malnutrition and not getting enough essential nutrients.
• Diabetes: A diabetic patient may develop hypoglycemia after taking excessive doses of insulin or diabetes medications. As for its relationship to iron deficiency, according to sources, poor absorption of iron and kidney problems resulting from diabetes complications may occur.
• Blood loss such as heavy periods, blood diseases, or internal bleeding.
• Malabsorption, which results from many causes such as infections, digestive diseases, medications, or some genetic diseases.

Generally speaking, iron deficiency does not cause hypoglycaemia. On the contrary, there is a link between iron deficiency and elevated blood glucose levels. However, as mentioned in the source, a 2010 study suggested that anemia may cause false readings of glucose levels, which results in Taking high doses of insulin, thus lowering blood sugar levels.

Finally, you should get a doctor’s consultation if you suffer from cramps, or severe dizziness and loss of consciousness.
