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?

I'm really worried about my sister. She's been experiencing dizziness quite frequently in the past 78 months, and it's getting more common now.

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?
