Which B12 test are you going to get? 511 is still low, in my opinion. There are a few, none show active B12 but 1 which I could not find anyone who did the one test. So I did the MMA test.

If you have taken any B vitamins they will show up.


As I said in my previous post, you don't have to be diabetic to have spikes. Anything over 140 can cause neuropathy.

If you do test for diabetes I would get the A1C test but more importantly I would buy my own meter and check myself. My dr tested me, said I was fine and dropped it, however a dr wont worry til its too late.
I'm not sure what the test is. It just says on my sheet B12 test with fasting specimen (blood). What is MMA? I won't start any vitamins until after I get that result just because I do really wanna see where I'm at and I wouldn't want it to sway the test. I bought a cheap meter but the strips I thought were a little expensive. It was $35 for 25 strips! That could get costly if I'm checking it even twice a day. Any suggestions for that?
