So passed the glucose test, but they found out that I was slightly anemic. They said to be sure I'm taking my vitamin, and I do when I remember. My question is what is being anemic actually mean and what else can I do to be not anemic?

your iron is low, so an iron pill from the store would help, iron rich foods as well

Anemia is when your body doesn't produce enough red blood cells. And without enough red blood cells your body has less oxygen flow. This can usually make you colder than others, tired, or lightheaded. There are different kinds but the most common is iron-deficiency anemia. Work more iron into your diet and take iron supplements if your doc recommends.
