Brief Answer:
Diabetes needs to be controlled first.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The iron pills that you are taking are not likely to interfere with the glucose levels.
The blood glucose levels do need regular monitoring and dosage regulation according to the blood glucose levels. It takes 5-7 days for the dosage regulation.
You can get the best treatment plan formulated for diabetes control after consulting your endocrinologist.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
