I'm curious about vitamin D3 deficiency and how often I should take supplements. Is it more effective to take them weekly or just once a month? And how long should I be on them to see improvements?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If you have a vitamin D deficiency, it's typically recommended to take vitamin D3 weekly or monthly, depending on the severity of the deficiency, as prescribed by your doctor. Once your levels improve, your doctor will guide you on maintaining your levels with a daily dose or periodic supplementation.

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's diabetic and takes glycomet cr500. I'm trying to understand if she's type 1 or type 2 diabetic. Also, I've heard about ime 9can it completely cure diabetes, or does it only help keep it under control?
Glycomet CR-500 is a medication typically prescribed for Type 2 diabetes; Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed at a younger age and requires insulin therapy, whereas Type 2 diabetes is often managed through lifestyle changes and oral medications like metformin (Glycomet); while Type 2 diabetes can be managed and controlled, it's considered a chronic condition, and there is no known "complete cure," but with proper treatment, lifestyle modifications, and regular monitoring, blood sugar levels can be effectively controlled.
