Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. If his haemoglobin is within normal range, not to worry about MCV or MCHC.
2. However, if MCV is high, it indicates possible Vit B12 and Folic acid deficiency. Supplement it with your diet.
3. Diabetes control is essential to prevent long term damage to various organs. Take regular medication along with moderate exercises to improve sugar levels.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
