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
