I recently got my test results for Vitamin D, calcium, and B12. The results showed Calcium at 9.46 mgdL, Vitamin B12 at 436 pgmL, Vitamin D2 at 1.02 ngmL, Vitamin D3 at 17.9 ngmL, and overall Vitamin D at 18.92 ngmL. I realize my Vitamin B12 is on the lower side and Vitamin D is actually deficient. My previous doctor had recommended Shelcal, one tablet for 30 days, and Uprise, one tablet every week for 34 weeks, but I didn't end up taking them. Should I start taking them now? Is that dosage correct? Should I be taking these tablets at night after meals? Also, do you think I should take something for B12 for a few days to improve my levels?
Visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm confused about the normal range for fasting blood sugar levels. Is it supposed to be up to 100 mgdL or 110? Some lab reports mention 110, but I've seen online that it should be 100. Could you clarify this for me?
Ideally it must be lessthan 100mgdl for evaluation get HbA1c and visit Endocrinologist for appropriate management
