Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="iHs" data-source="post: 132474" data-attributes="member: 8799">I asked my D consultant just a few weeks ago now as to whether there was benefit to be gained from taking vitamin supplements from a diabetes point of view and the answer was - just take a general multi vitamin unless you have blood test to show a deficiancy.Last year I had an in depth series of blood tests done to determine what my state of health was really like.  I noticed the Vit D test and saw that my level last August was 87 so just as well that I didn't take any Vit D3 which I had bought thinking that I probably was deficiant.This radio broadcast the other day on Radio 4 - Dr Mark Porter, Case Notes talks about the potential benefit of taking Vit D and must admit, it does throw a new light.  Again though, people should get a blood test done first before they start taking it.<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00s0djn" target="_blank">http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00s0djn</a></blockquote>
