Post B-12 number

The norms that the labs indicate ARE NOT THE NORMS FOR A DIABETIC.

Can't stress this enough.

So if you were told that your B-12 is good, and it's like 400 or so, THAT'S NOT GOOD.

So if you can get back to us with the number, that's a good place to start.

Thanks much

Wow - Didn't even think that there are norms for diabetics and norms for non-diabetics when it came to B-12 levels... Mine was ordered by my endocrinologist, so I'm wondering why he didn't think to tell me that my number -453 - was not normal... In fact, the nurse and the dr. said it was a totally normal number...
Thanks for your input... Gonna mention this to my endo at next appt. and start taking a B-12 supplement...
