Is blood sugar in the 180-220 range bad?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A blood sugar reading of more than 180 mg/dL or any reading above your target range is too high. A blood sugar reading of 300 mg/dL or more can be dangerous. If you have 2 readings in a row of 300 or more, call your doctor.

Hey, I'm kind of worried about my vitamin levels and wondering if it's okay to take vitamin D and B12 supplements at the same time. My recent test showed my vitamin D is at 7.3 ngml and vitamin B12 is at 89 pgml. Do you think I should start taking supplements? If so, can you recommend any specific ones that might help?
With your low Vitamin D (7.3 ngml) and borderline low Vitamin B12 (89 pgml) levels, taking supplements together is safe, but consult your doctor to confirm; consider Nature Made Vitamin D3 2000 IU and Jarrow Formulas Methyl B12 2500 mcg, but ensure you follow the recommended dosages and monitor your levels regularly.
