I think it depends which type of test your doctor does. I believe that there are several different ones used in the UK. Sorry - I know that's not very helpful!

The levels varies from different levels in different countries and it's usually a very wide banding in the UK from around 300 to 900 from memory I think. You'd be best to ask the Pernicious (B12) anaemia group here on healthunlocked: pasoc.healthunlocked.com/

I found this on the Pernicious Anaemia Society's website, though it's quite old. It shows it's quite variable.

I know I was diagnosed as deficient at 140.

Thank you everyone, I've done some research and in Europe B12levels range from between 500 to 1100 so as I feel really well on 1200 I'm going to see if I can remain on 1200, we are all different after all, will keep you updated. amimaryann
