[QUOTE="Montana, post: 480717, member: 51465"] Hi Smidge o too found out last year o have vitD deficiency. Consultant suggested to my GP I should have 50, 000 iu's of colecalciferol per week as a 1 dose tablet for several weeks. However my GP refused saying that i did not need that much and offered instead a much reduced amount of 800 iu's x 4 per day. I went back and forth between Consultant and GP and 6 months after diagnosis of vitD deficiency I eventually got them. Omly been taking them for 5 weeks so haven't noticed any improvement as yet. Meanwhile I'll post here when I do or when I've had blood tested again(GP has sent me a blood test form to have it done now whereas my consultant wait at least 6 months as it continues to rise long after last tablet. Why oh why do my GP and consultant never agree with anything putting me as the patient piggy in the middle and leaving me more anxious than ever regarding all the different tests I've had done since first consulting my GP 12 months ago and still no further forward than i was then. Oh this waiting game is beginning to get to me. Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
