[QUOTE="SimonCrox, post: 2066400, member: 388174"] That's interesting about doing the blood test and adjusting the dosing interval based on that. Agree, there are sometimes problems with the B12 assay, but I believe that they are rare. Always worth doing the blood test for coeliac disease cos more common in diabetic people, easy to do, but coeliac disease predominantly affects proximal small bowel and it is a stomach or distal large bowel problem that leads to B12 problems, I thought? I found one guy with B12 deficiency, so I explained this add the treatment of 5 loading doses at which point he interrupted me to say that this was an amazing co-incidence cos he had had the same thing 16 years previously; managed for 16 years just on loading doses?? (did have significant anaemia when I met him) I'll probably stick with the IM jabs, (or what I believe are IM jabs cos it is me sticking the needle in and I don't like it particularly so don't really push it hard) but I had often wondered why SC wasn't Ok; I'll look into this and get repeat B12 level sometime Best wishes [/QUOTE]
