My endocrinologist prescribed Vitamin D, 50,000 IU, once a week. I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes about 20 years ago, and still take oral medication, and watch my food intake. My A1C has been within normal range for quite a long time now. I also have hypothyroidism, and hyperparathyroidism, which causes my body to produce higher levels of calcium. Other than taking the parathyroid out, there isn’t much that can be done about it. And so far, my doctor hasn’t recommended that. I go for fasting blood work every 6 months.

Please look into Vitamin K2 to shuttle your blood calcium into your bones.

It happens pretty quickly, once on it. A mouse study showed a 50 percent reversal of calcium plaques in half the time it took to get the calcium to cover the plaques, once starting K2.

I stated that wrong.

K2 reversed half the buildup in the same time as it was added (I think six or eight weeks, for build up and take down).
