@spacemonkey, according to this article from Mayo Clinic:
- What is vitamin D toxicity? Should I be worried about taking supplements? https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/vitamin-d-toxicity/faq-20058108
"The main concern of vitamin D toxicity is a buildup of calcium in the blood. This is called hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia can cause upset stomach and vomiting, weakness, and frequent urination. It also can lead to bone pain and kidney troubles such as kidney stones."
I see you posted your question in the Heart & Blood Health support group. Are you experiencing symptoms that lead you to think you might be experiencing from too much vitamin in the body? Have you been taking large doses of vitamin D?

@colleenyoung yes people should be concerned about overdosing on vitamin D. However, if you are taking vitamin D under doctors orders, then periodically a blood test will be prescribed to make sure you stay in range. Taking 2000 to 5000 units a day, if your initial blood test said you need two, won’t cause toxicity! Just about everybody, especially those with dark complexion need some kind of vitamin D supplement by the time they were in their 50s/60s. Going out in the sunshine helps your body metabolize its own vitamin D but for some of us it is not enough. If you are of Medicare age, you get a wellness check once a year and have your doctor run a metabolic lab test and make sure your vitamin D levels are checked. Being on D will help control your A1c. They worked together.
