Brief Answer:
B12 value seems in range...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

As I see, the vitamin b12 value of 374 is in range. What was the reference value mentioned in the report?

May I know the reason why you've had weekly injections. Were your vitamin b12 low? If yes, what was teh value prior to taking the injections? Or was it given to prevent vitamin b12 deficiency; such as part of a treatment / due to neuropathy treatment?

Awaiting your response...

Regards
