B12 results

[Claire67]

Good Morning

I have just had a private test of my B12 the results were 282

pmol/L

total B12.

This has said I am insufficient. Should I be contacting the GP for injections?

I have Hashimotos and Under Active Thyroid as well. I have been feeling increasingly fatigued especially in the afternoons.

Any advice would be appreciated.

282 pmol/L sounds a bit high to be classed as deficient. What was the range given with the number? It should say something like

282 pmol/L (150-599 pmol/L).

If you just say to your doctor that your B12 is 282 pmol/L then they are likely to say - "That's perfectly normal, you don't need B12".
