I've been dealing with this weird fruity smell on my breath and skin for about 13 months now, and my sweat has this strange syrupy scent too. My friend noticed it, and everything I read online points to diabetes. I had a full blood count done 3 months ago, and it came back fine, even with fasting. I'm really worried about thisdo you think I should see a doctor? I'm not having any other symptoms really, and I know I'm a self-diagnosed hypochondriac, but this just seems like it could be diabetes. What do you think?

View allI'm really struggling here. I've had severe anxiety for 12 years, but these past 5 days have been rough. Even a little bit of work leaves me exhausted, with body aches, palpitations, and extreme tiredness. I always thought it might be a heart issue, but I've had an echo and TMT done before. So, I recently checked my vitamin levels, and my vitamin D is at 10, and vitamin B12 is at 176. Could all of this be because of a vitamin D deficiency? Are these levels really concerning? Can someone please help me figure this out?
Based on your symptoms and the low levels of Vitamin D and Vitamin B12, it is likely that your symptoms are due to these deficiencies. To address this, you can start taking Vitamin D supplements such as "Calcirol" 60,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks followed by once a month. For Vitamin B12 deficiency, you can take "Becosules" capsule once daily for a month. Additionally, make sure to spend some time in the sun for natural Vitamin D synthesis and include Vitamin D and B12 rich foods in your diet. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been on Vitamin D3 and B12 supplements for the last three months, 10000iu and 5000mcg daily. Just got my blood work back, and my GGT level jumped to 111 from under 50. What's going on with that? Should I cut back or stop the vitamins? I'm 50, female, and a bit worried here.
For the elevated GGT level, it is important to address the underlying cause. In your case, since your recent reports have shown a significant increase in GGT levels after starting the Vitamin D3 and Vitamin B12 supplements, it is advisable to stop taking these supplements for now. Additionally, it would be beneficial to avoid alcohol consumption and maintain a healthy diet. To help reduce your GGT level, you can consider taking Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) under brand name Actigall or Urso.
