IN my report, HbA1c is also above the normal range. Is it because of Vitamin D and B12 deficiency? Does the overall report have any alarming parameters? Do I need to take the medication or go for further tests? Please suggest the medication if needed.

Brief Answer:
You should take supplements

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Vitamin B12 level and vitamin D level are lower than normal range.
You should take supplements which should contain vit B12 and vit D.
HbA1c leveled which is higher than normal range indicates prediabetes.
You should take care of your diet and avoid sugar consumption.

Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!

Thanks for the explanation.

Medical history:

Infected with Covid in April 21 and was on steroid oral dose for 6 weeks till May 21. My SP02 level went down below 90 and was on oxygen for one week.

Questions:
Can the HBA1C level be reversed back to the normal range if I control B12 and Vitamin D levels? Is there any correlation between HBA1C and VitaminB12, D?


Do you find anything alarming in the medical report?

Action plan:
I am planning to take the following supplements.

Vitamin D tablets: Uprsie-D3 60k , dosage : one tablet per week for 12 weeks
Vitamin B12 tablets: A-Z 500 mg, dosage : one tablet per day for 60 days

Does above plan sound good and when should I go for test again to check the levels?
