Dear Sir,
Thank you for asking your query at XXXXXXX After reviewing your wife's reports, tthe following are my conclusions and suggestions:
1. The iron levels in her body a slightly on the lower side, which is cause of her hypochromia. Iron is responsible for the hemoglobin and red blood cells, if the values are slightly low, the hemoglobin can still be normal. To correct this, you can ask her to consume a lot of XXXXXXX leafy vegetables (spinach, etc), jaggery. In addition she can take iron capsules twice a day for one month. These will help in building her iron stores. You can get the test repeated after 2 months to see the change.
2. Her thyroid function tests are absolutely normal (thyronormalcy - means that they are normal). No medications are required for that.
3. Is your wife diabetic? Her sugar is borderline and glycosalted Hb is also borderline. I would suggest that she follows strict diet control and regular exercise pattern for two months and gets these tests repeated as well.
Other than that her tests appear to be normal.
Please feel free to ask any other query.

Dear Sir,
I do not have a preference for any brand but if you want she can have
Haem-up syrup 2 tsf twice a day for 1 month. She can have it with lemon juice, which helps in increased absorption of iron.
I hope her tests turn out to be normal the next time around.
