No reason for the b12 defeicency just put me on injections, they don't seem to bother doctors about it, they didn't do anything to find out why,

Hi, you need to have an HBA1C blood test. This shows what your blood sugars have been like over the past three months rather than just a one off result. Dr Webberley
