Q: According to my latest reports, my haemoglobin is 16.7 g/dl and Vitamin B12 is 169 pg/mL. I have completed a course of 5 injections of Methylcobal 500 mcg. I am a vegetarian. What should I do?

A:Your haemoglobin is in the biological reference interval for your age and sex and there seems no need to take any injections. The B12 levels would be affected by the injections that you are taking. Take a healthy nutritious diet with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits along with grain and legumes. A vegetarian diet can meet our nutritional needs.
