Vitamin D deficiency

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hi

I suffered from a Vit D deficiency in 2016 and was never prescribed a maintenance dose from my then doctor. I have since moved to Wales and was informed that NHS Wales doesn’t test Vit D levels so I took it upon myself to order a Thriva blood test kit. The results have come back showing that I’m indeed Vit D deficient. Would this be something that I would be able to take to my doctor in Wales for him to prescribe sufficient treatment?
