Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have checked the vitamin D, blood sugar, and cholesterol. The results are as follows: 25 Hydroxyvitamin D2/D3: 20.9 ng/mL, glycemic index 1.07 * g/l, cholesterol total: 2.90 g/l, glycated hemoglobin: 5.3 %, and fasting blood sugar: 1.07 * g/l. What is your suggestion?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for writing and I understand your concern.

There are few changes in blood values, you have vitamin D deficiency and it can lead to symptoms like pain in the hands and all, and medication can be given for that. Cholesterol level is slightly higher but it can be treated with exercise and diet, please avoid oily food and do daily running and walking. If you have symptoms then please let me know.

I hope this helps.

Thank you

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the prompt response. I have a few symptoms like feeling tired always, laziness, and neck pain. Which medicine do I need to take for the vitamin D deficiency?

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Sugreev Singh

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes, such pain and weakness can be associated with this vitamin D deficiency only. So, I am prescribing medicine for it. After one month, we will proceed with further treatment accordingly. Please take a capsule of Aarachitol 60000 IU once a week for four weeks. These capsules are sufficient to treat your low levels of vitamin D. So do not worry and continue the medicine. We will go for further treatment after one month. If anything else, please let me know.

I hope this helps.

Thank you
