I'm 40 and my fasting sugar levels are usually around 110. I'm really committed to both intense cardio and strength workouts, and I'm sticking to a low-carb and low-fat diet. I'm really hoping to get my fasting sugar down into the 90s. Do you have any suggestions on what else I could do to achieve that?
Maintain healthy life style and get yourself checked regularly for any underlying disease and appropriate management.

Hey, I'm kind of worried about my vitamin levels and wondering if it's okay to take vitamin D and B12 supplements at the same time. My recent test showed my vitamin D is at 7.3 ngml and vitamin B12 is at 89 pgml. Do you think I should start taking supplements? If so, can you recommend any specific ones that might help?
With your low Vitamin D (7.3 ngml) and borderline low Vitamin B12 (89 pgml) levels, taking supplements together is safe, but consult your doctor to confirm; consider Nature Made Vitamin D3 2000 IU and Jarrow Formulas Methyl B12 2500 mcg, but ensure you follow the recommended dosages and monitor your levels regularly.
