To increase your Vitamin B12 and hemoglobin, you will likely need Vitamin B12 supplements (such as methylcobalamin) and iron supplements (like ferrous sulfate), as both are essential for red blood cell production. Folic acid is also frequently combined with these. For severe B12 deficiencies, a doctor may prescribe B12 injections. However, because excess iron can be harmful, it is crucial to get a blood test first to determine the exact dosage you need. Please consult your doctor for a formal prescription. You can also support your levels by eating B12-rich foods (dairy, eggs, fortified cereals) and iron-rich foods (leafy greens, red meat).

A burning sensation in your feet, despite normal blood sugar, can be caused by vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroid dysfunction (hypothyroidism), nerve compression, or poor circulation. Since treatment depends on the specific cause, please consult a doctor for a proper evaluation, which may include blood tests for vitamin levels and thyroid function, or nerve conduction studies. For temporary relief, you can soak your feet in cool water (avoid ice) and elevate them. Once diagnosed, your doctor may prescribe specific medications like B-complex supplements, gabapentin, or topical creams.
