Thank you ma'm i am loosing weight continously lost 6-7 kg over the past 3-4 yrs is the low vit d of <10 the cause of the weight loss also I feel loss of energy how long will the vit d levels take to normalise with such low detected levels ?? Is the diabetic issue compounding to the weight loss?? My HBa1c level is 6.8

Answered by Dr. Minal Mohit (4 days later)

Brief Answer:
weight loss is good if it is intentional.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir, low vitamin D is not related to weight loss.
you have already received two injections of vitamin D , your level must have already normalized. Hba1c of 6.8 % is considered normal. weight loss if not intentional needs detailed work up.
