I'm a bit confused about my vitamin D3 situation. My level is 28.06, and I've been taking Lumia 60k every week, but it's giving me some side effects. I spoke with another doctor, and they recommended taking Lumia 60k just once a month instead of weekly. Could you help clarify what's the best approach for me?

Q: Is walking good for diabetes?

Yes, walking is good for diabetes. A healthy goal of brisk walking for at least 30 minutes for most of the days in a week is helpful in controlling the blood sugar levels.

Q: I'm really worried about my vitamin D and calcium levels. I've been feeling off lately and I'm concerned it might be a deficiency. Could you recommend a good supplement for both? I'm also wondering what signs or symptoms I should look out for that might indicate these deficiencies.

Calcium deficiency would cause joint pains, muscle cramps, weakness,you can take Shelkal 500 once daily and Vit bio D3 once a week as supplements
