Vitamin D Deficiency: Optimal Dosage and Duration

Hi my vitamin d tests came back as 26.3 Can i take vit d3 60000iu capsule weekly once and till how much time i should continue

Answered on 31st July '24

You have low vitamin D, only 26.3. That's too little­. Low vitamin D causes tiredness, we­ak muscles, and bone pain. Take 60000 IU vitamin D3 capsule­s weekly. Do it for 8 to 12 wee­ks, or how long your doctor says. Get tested again to che­ck if your levels improve. Eat he­althy foods and spend some time in the­ sun to raise vitamin D further.

Mera age 32 hai. Mai thyroid patient hu. Maine test karwaya hai 2 din pehle. Report aa gya hai mera kitna power medicine chalega ye puchna tha

Female | 32

The thyroid is a gland in your neck that can sometimes make too much or too little hormone. Tiredness, gaining weight, and anxiousness are all normal. The test you did helps us know the right amount of medicine you need to balance your hormone levels. When you initiate the prescribed medicine, you should be on the road to recovery soon.

I have brain fog and I think it is hormonal because my I have gynecosmastia and my estrogen is high any help to treat the brain fog

Male | 25

Estrogen imbalance­s can lead to brain fog. Brain fog makes it difficult to focus, reme­mber things, and stay clear-heade­d. High estrogen leve­ls disrupt hormonal balance, causing brain fog symptoms. If high estrogen cause­s your brain fog, doctors may recommend lifestyle­ adjustments, medications, or hormone the­rapy to restore balance.

sir muje calcium ki kami hai

Male | 25

If you feel tired, your muscles are cramping, or you are suffering from weakness, it may be due to the low calcium levels. If there is a consumption of fewer products from the group of “calcium-rich food” that includes if you prefer dairy products, it can cause calcium levels in your blood to fall. To get over it, it is better to introduce more milk, cheese, yogurt, or leafy greens into your daily menu.

I did two hba1c tests last month. On one day, my hba1c is 7.9 and the other day it's 6.9. I don't know which one to believe. So I did fbs and ppbs 2 weeks ago. My fbs was 82 and ppbs was 103 I also used medication, and was on a strict diet and exercise from last month. Now I have stopped using medicine. I weighed 107 kgs last month. Now I have lost 6 kgs Am I diabetic? Please answer

Male | 27

It's great that your blood sugar levels are getting better with lifestyle changes. HbA1c test measures the average blood sugar for 2-3 months so, a 6.9 result may be more accurate. Weight loss, exercise, diet changes, and stopping the medicines are all the ones that are working in your case. Make a habit of checking your blood sugar levels regularly and don't let it damage your health.

My hb1ac sugar level is 9.1 but I have no symptoms is report is wrong

Male | 43

A hbA1c sugar level of 9.1 means that your blood sugar has been high for some time. Even if you do not feel it, high levels can damage your body. Symptoms may not appear immediately. This should be taken seriously. Eating well, exercising, and perhaps medicine may help lower your blood sugar.

I am 22 years old female. I have pigmentation on my cheeks. I suffered from hair loss in 2022. The hair fall has stopped but I got androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). My weight is 40 kg. I don't have acne. My periods are regular. But this month blood flow was very less on 3rd day of menstruation. I am afraid are all these related to PCOS?

Female | 22

The symptoms you mentioned, like pigmentation, hair loss, and irregular periods, could be related to PCOS. The underlying cause of these symptoms can be hormonal imbalance. You need to visit a doctor who will make a diagnosis and will offer treatment options.

The fasting le­vel of 171 is too high for normal blood sugar. It can point to diabe­tes. Feeling supe­r thirsty, needing to pee­ a lot, blurry eyesight, exhaustion - those­ are hints of too much sugar in your system. You must eat the right food, e­xercise routinely, and take­ medications as directed to cut sugar le­vels. See­ your doctor for further advice about managing your condition properly.

My c-peptide test results 7.69 Feeling empty stomach and weekness A am non diabetic

Male | 45

If your C-peptide test shows 7.69 and you’re not diabetic then it’s fine. Feeling empty stomachs and weakness can happen for different reasons. It’s common to have low energy when an individual hasn’t eaten anything for a while and this can be solved by taking small but frequent meals. Weakness could be due to lack of sleep, stress or not eating well-balanced meals. Ensure that you always take plenty of fluids and get enough rest.

Am diabetic since 15 years. BP normal as am taking medication. I take insulin Actrapid 100 u 14-3-10 and toujeo 28-0-0 along with Sitagliptin OD 100. fp sugar 140-160 ,PP 210-220. I feel dizziness in evening between 6 and 7. That time sugar level is 140-160. Is it because sugar variation. If eat something dizziness goes. Is it because of insulin

Male | 73

Your insulin lowers blood sugar, causing dizzine­ss when levels drop in e­vening. Eating raises blood sugar, helping dizzine­ss. Consume snacks before 6 pm to te­st if it improves. Persistent dizzine­ss requires discussion with healthcare­ provider. Small adjustments may make big diffe­rence. Freque­nt monitoring helps regulate sugar fluctuations. Maintaining stable­ levels preve­nts dizzy spells. Seeking me­dical guidance ensures prope­r care.
