[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 1372659, member: 13582"] No, trouble. Do get the 1,000 per drop not the 'children's' version which does not have enough. That study I posted is quite old and was repeated in Finland, I believe, using only the rda for vitamin D3 (either 200 iu or 400 iu) which showed no benefit and guess what the conclusion was? Vitamin D3 has no positive benefit in preventing Type 1 diabetes! It's amazing - not that the dose wasn't high enough! Holland and Barrett have 1,000 iu drops and you can get them on Amazon too. Looking back at that study the amount given in Finland was 2,000 iu per day. So, I'd do that for you and your new baby but probably you wouldn't necessarily need that amount for your toddler; it's up to you though! You don't need a prescription for glucose test strips (or ketone strips) they cost about £5 for a tube of 50. They don't last very well as they react to moisture so once you open them the clock starts ticking but I always have some in the house to address the eternal worry! Good luck with everything.
