What's a good way to ask to be tested for a vitamin d deficiency?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Ask to be tested: Ask your provider to draw a blood test to check your vitamin d level. Results will determine whether you really need treatment.

Just ask: It's a routine blood draw. Just ask your doctor to get this evaluated. I really don't see why anyone would refuse your request.
