Question

What is type 1 and type 2 diabetes?

Question

I've been wondering about the best way to take a Vitamin D 60000 IU sachet. Should I have it on an empty stomach in the morning and if so, how long should I wait before eating? Or is it better to take it during meals or right after? Also, should I be mixing it with milk, water, or just my regular meals? And one more thing, do I need to mix the powder with a liquid, or can I just swallow the powder and then take a drink?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my dad, who's diabetic. The doctor prescribed Nurokind LC for him, but I'm a little worried about its compatibility with his diabetes, especially since it contains levocarnitine. Also, I noticed that he recommended taking vitamin B12 after lunch. Is there a specific reason why that's better than taking it in the morning? Is it safe for him to continue with these supplements?
