Almost everyday, occasionally I forget
Daily during the winter months
I’m daily because I take calcium chews every day and they include some D as well.
I have had a Vitamin D deficiency so I take it twice daily.
My hubby is pre-diabetic and takes Vit D as he has a severe deficiency but I the T1 do not.
from seattle, yes most days. take D when there is no sun
funny – I was reminded of my weekly dose a minute before I received this question š
During the winter or when it is cloudy and grey, I know I donāt get enough sunlight. I was once tested and found to be seriously deficient. At that point I was waiting to and from work and should have had enough.
I take an adult multivitamin daily and figure it has all the vitamin D I need.
Whenever my level of vit d is checked, it is always at a high normal average, even when I donāt take vit d – I think itās a function of getting outside regularly and after I was 35, I started using a tanning bed once a week in the winter, for whatever thatās worth
Yes, I take a 1000 IU capsule every morning.
MY Vitamin D levels were very low so I am now taking 50,000 units once a week.
I did until recently. My kidney function decreased significantly and my nephrologist wanted me to stop all supplements. I was taking 5000 iu daily for many years.
I was Vit D deficient, so initially started with the super high dose (50,000 iu or there abouts) once weekly. After 3 or so months, I transitioned to 1,000 iu daily. Calcium is also an issue for me and the two go together.
I still occasionally show up as low Vit D even with the supplement and the sunny clime.
Yes- I wanted to take a supplement that matched my high school grade point average.
50,000 mEq weekly when my levels are low. Was on it for several years, then endocrine NP had me stop about 9 months ago because the levels were in range and she didn’t want to overdose.
Primary care found me to be deficient in a routine blood test. Rx supplement; now just an over the counter supplement.
I take a prescription dose of Vitamin D once a week.
I’ve been taking Vitamin D for many years after my blood test showed my Vit D level was low. My endocrinologist checks it every year, I’m taking 50 mcg (2000 IU) daily.
When I lived in NY – very little sun – my vitamin D levels were fine. I moved to Florida – the Sunshine state – and developed a vitamin D deficiency. Was on a very high dose (Rx) for quite a while but am now on OTC daily.
I am T1D and do not take any vitamin supplements. My T2D husband takes Vitamin D supplement due to hyperparathyroidism.
