I believe that at least two of you have made comments about vitamin D supplementation.

FReepmail me if you want on or off the diabetes ping list.

You were pinged for two reasons. First, there can be too much of a good thing, i.e. vitamin D. Second, for the newer members of the diabetes list, there can be too little of a good thing, i.e. vitamin D. The blood test is called serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D. You may find variations on that, e.g. 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 25hydroxyvitamin D, 25-hydroxyvitaminD, 25hydroxyvitaminD, etc.

Don’t believe this. Or, if it’s true, the percentage of people affected is so low it doesn’t make a difference.

I have been taking 5000IU of D3 per day for years. The only side effect I’ve noticed is a complete lack of illness. My Dr. thinks I’m nuts. But, then, he has a stake in my having to visit him when I’m sick.
