I had to laugh, 16 years ago I was in the Rennes Teaching Hospital with diabetes. They had a drinks machine in the hall, NONE were suitable for diabetics. The place had a restaurant on site and NONE of the meals were suitable for diabetics, I now asked does one order in as one cannot grink the...

This old chestnut keeps arising, and it is sort of confirmed that all diabetics and even older people may well be deficient. I am on insulin and if I stop my B12 then I get clicky middle finger and really painful left shoulder joint. Also I have atheritose in my knees and the doctor who did my...

hanadr is absolutely correct, metformin will not be a player in this instance. Short story, when I was with BFG in Germany the guys were told not to drink too much, many came out of the bars thinking they were OK and walked about 10 paces and collapsed. You have to aware of what you are drinking!
