Hi...
noted you are diabetic and vit b12 supplement
your HbA1c is 5.6% : If you are diabetic, we prefer to keep around 7%, if you are not anemic
Vitamin D is low... you require vitamin d supplement, and sun exposure for 10 min in afternoon
note : you are on 2250 mcg of vitamin D, which is not needed.. any how it doesnt cause toxic... but its simply waste to take that much
Next Steps
Kindly consult diabetologist with medication list
