[QUOTE="Energize, post: 1841684, member: 28960"] Hi [USER=479570]@jcr0205[/USER] You say your B12 is borderline. What was your Folate? They will have both been tested. Have you checked the signs and symptoms of both Vit B12 deficiency and that of Folate deficiency? If you have symptoms, it could well be that you need supplementing. Many prescribed medications can cause absorption problems, particularly Metformin, although being Type 1, maybe you don't take Metformin. Other common meds are anti-acids, the pill, and a variety of others. If you have any doubts re B12 or Folate deficiency, check out PAS forums (Pernicious Anaemia Society). PA is an autoimmune disease, as is Type ! Diabetes but B12 deficiency is the overall condition - both requiring the same treatment. On a personal level, I'm B12 deficient but, because my GP doesn't agree (very common for medical personel not to recognise B12/Folate deficiency, unfortunately) I self-inject, for the past year, and feel a different, much healthier, person. Definitely worth exploring this aspect. :) [/QUOTE]
