However Vit D slashes the stroke risk, per lots of research. You cold try checking it out before making opposite suggestions.
That prescription was due to the fact that my Vit D level was way below normal, so I think my Dr was correct to prescribe it. I stopped getting pneumonia all winter after that.
Not sure where you got the medical training to suggest Vit D causes strokes?
Maybe he was a new recruit

Maybe you asked the wrong question.
High glucose causes stiffness accross blood vessel wall cells, called glycation. It's a direct result of the stickiness of constantly present glucose. It makes strands of sticky stuff between cells, and kind of glues the cells into a stiff position. Layers of this stiffening glycation can flake off at ANY time. As the MRI showed in great detail, this was the cause of my stroke. A flap of glycated tissue from a vessel in the brain near the left parietal lobe, had flapped off of the blood vessel wall, but not torn off completely. So it made a door across the blood vessel in the brain, just where a vessel narrowed - closing a "door" against the narrowing vessel.
The blood cells all slammed up against this closed glycation "door" to make a clot, causing my stroke. The clot was just over half inch diameter.
So it happened exactly as I predicted to those who were so "clever" as money savers, as to cut my supplies of glucose test strips.
Good luck with that attitude.
I had unknown diabetes for a few years from 1998 before getting it under control in 2004. I am merely reporting proven fact in my case, as an example; it was not supposition.
I guess it is your choice to play Russian roulette with glycation. I choose not to do so.
It reminds me of the people who smoke who feel that they are immune to its effects till the lung cancer occurs.
Namaste,
Irene
