[QUOTE="Indy51, post: 554152, member: 48386"] I was diagnosed as being deficient by blood test. The endo then told me I could take a massive dose (forget the amount now) once a fortnight or take 2,000 iu per day. I find it's much easier to have a routine of taking tablets daily, so went with that. I was tested again after 6 months and was okay, so then reduced to 1000, then to less regular amounts. I then made a habit of trying to get at least 20 minutes sun exposure every day (which is pretty easy to do in Western Australia) and just take one when I feel I'm not getting enough sun. In the winter months I go back to taking it more regularly. I think the D3/K2 combo is recommended more for bone health reasons, though I have started incorporating K2 into my supplementation as well. There's now combination supplements available, so am going to swap to one of those. I've only started hearing about K2 in the past year and it sounds like a very smart idea to supplement it, especially since it's pretty hard to get enough from food. Apparently all the fat soluble vitamins are also important for dental and eye health as well, so probably also a good idea for diabetics. [/QUOTE]
