[QUOTE="Deleted member 543160, post: 2514831"] No! I was already taking D2 at GP's suggestion but all else I get from eating suitable low carb foods. Properly managed, very low carb/ketogenic diets should NOT cause any such deficiency issues, so unless you may already be lacking certain vitamins or minerals, or you're going to eat some particularly restrictive "keto diet", you should get everything necessary from your food. However, if you're not already used to a lower carb diet, you may find initially you lose/wee out extra fluids while your body rids itself of extra stored glucose, which may cause temporary reductions in potassium and magnesium levels, but you should be replacing these minerals anyway by eating suitable vegetables, etc. Google will provide lists of low carb foods with high vitamin and mineral content if you want to check. If you are taking metformin long term, you may need to check for possible vitamin B12 deficiency but this is not related to low carb/ketogenic diets. [/QUOTE]
