Hi XXXXXXX,
Thanks for posting your query.
Increased MCV (normal reference level is 79-93.3 fl) indicates macrocytic red blood cells while MCH is normal (normal reference level is 26.7-31.9).
Macrocytic anaemia is due to deficiency od vitamin B12 and folic acid and frequent excessive use of wine also causes deficiency of vitamins.
So you should take healthy diet with decrease amount of wine and also take multivitamin supplements.
Your Hemoglobin A1c level is normal and indicates normal blood sugar in last 3 months.
Put your query if you have.
Take care,
Dr.Mayank Bhargava
