I am type 2 diabetic for 25 years.
My diabetic med:
Byetta 10 mcg bd (injections)
Metformin 1g tds
Glimepridre 2mg od

My LI&E and LFT Nad. Vitamin b12 168 S foliate 15.5

(End of the medico stuff.)
****
My vitamin B12 is low and I was advised to see my GP regarding supplements.
He prescribed Cyanocobalamin , one 50MCG Tab twice per day.

I started taking the cyano.etc four days ago. I have felt queasy ever since. To my surprise and horror my daily blood sugar blood tests have risen dramatically each day from its usual 9.0 or less pre lunch... and going up daily - so that within three days it is almost 18! (12....15...18 and have eaten very little with few sugars.)

As an 'experiment' I shall stop taking the Cyano.etc from tomorrow to see if matters improve.

Has anyone else here taken cyano.etc with adverse affects?

Thanks for any info.

Fascinating..thank you Doug.
Since stopping the cyan.etc. tablets my sugars have returned down my 'normal' and I feel much better in myself.
