[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1137686, member: 17713"] I would also advise trying to add in B11 naturally through food... Not T2 but T1. 2006 told I had pernicious anaemia from symptoms and tests. 2009/10 injections stopped. Had moved to a different GP.... Paid privately for B12 infusions from an anaetheist in Bridgend. Moved back to England and decided that if I had PA then I should not have to pay and to wait till levels sunk low again and get GPs to start injecting again. Had regular tests. They started to go down but in 2014 shot over thebtarget range. Up to 1597. My endo started to look at and said to me you don't look like you have leukaemia... (Signal of elevated B12). Then in Sept 2015 had breast cancer and levels dropped to 450 after the cancer was removed. Had another test in Jan and showed 800. Just been phoned yesterday after seeing a GP on Friday with some problems. Apparently I was being reviewed yesterday and GP phoned me to ask me to go and get my B12 levels tested again.... I don't thonk I had an exceptionally good diet in 2005/6 when originally diagnosed with low b12 and folate. It was low carb as I alway was but it didn't have reasonable amounts of dairy, eggs or milk. I did concentrate on raising these foods and I think my diet had some place to play with low levels... If its caused by a drug like metformin and not your bodies intrinsic factor then adding in b12 foods is worth ago. My fear now is that my B12 is high and it apparently can be linked to cancer but I will have to wait for a few weeks to get my bloods retested... If it is because of the bodies intrinsic factor then normally injections are needed for life... But personally if I thought is was likely to be a tablet affecting the livers reactions etc I would try to also add in a healthy amount of B12 from food too. And ask for B12 to be reviewed regularly. In Wales I also bought cocabalim liquid to inject privately myself too... As I thought I needed it.. After 4 years the high levels were a signal that I had cancer. Now I know It can also indicate breast cancer as well as lueukemia and liver problems... [/QUOTE]
