[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 604651"] Great results. :) As to the B12, this article explains it. As they are water soluble you will pee out any excess. You may be wasting your money but unless you have a blood test then you will never know. [url]http://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com/Blog/Amy-Campbell/metformin_and_risk_for_vitamin_b12_deficiency[/url] In recent years, there’s been some concern over the risk of vitamin B12 deficiency in people who take metformin. Vitamin B12 (also known as [I]cyanocobalamin[/I] or [I]cobalamin[/I]) plays many important roles in the body, such as keeping your blood cells and nervous system in tip top shape.
