Before your visit
- Stop vitamin supplements 24 hours before the sample. Multivitamins, vitamin D sachets and B12 tablets all raise the reading and can make a real deficiency look like a normal result. Prescription medicines carry on as usual unless your doctor says otherwise.
- If you have had a vitamin D injection recently, say so, and consider waiting. A single injection keeps the level raised for weeks to months, so a test taken too soon shows a good number that has nothing to do with your baseline. Your doctor can tell you the right gap.
- The same applies to B12 injections, which raise serum B12 immediately and for a long time afterwards.
- No fasting needed. Eat and drink as normal. A morning sample is easiest.
- Mention pregnancy or breastfeeding, since both change what a normal level means and what dose is safe.
- Mention long term medicines, especially acid reflux tablets such as omeprazole, metformin for diabetes, steroids and anti epileptic drugs. All of them affect these two vitamins.
- Not for children under 12.
- Have the patient's name and age ready, plus the name of any supplement you are already taking and how long you have been on it. Have a phone in a quiet place for an online consultation, or your preferred clinic if you would rather be seen in person.
- One low reading is a starting point, not a diagnosis on its own. Your doctor reads both results together with your symptoms before deciding anything.
