Hi All,

New blog post on B12 Deficiency Info website. Mentions that many with non dietary B12 deficiency are not given B12 injections.

In UK, national guidelines specify injections where B12 deficiency is not due to diet. If neuro symptoms present then UK guidelines indicate B12 jabs whatever the cause of B12 deficiency.
