Vitamin D query

2017-10-14 17:25:34
Dear Sir, My dad aged 51 has diabetes since three years. He's having pain in both shoulders since a year. Is it due to Vitamin D deficiency? It's a no brainer but should he take the test before consuming any vitamin d pills or can he go ahead and take a pill for few weeks? Thank you.

Well dear, you got it wrong. It's unlikely to have those symptoms due to vitamin D deficiency.
