    B12

    Hi, I have the injections but not on Metformin. I’m unable to absorb B12 in tablet form so I’ve had a series of injections, 2 a week for 3 weeks and now just one dose every 3 months. Feel much better for it. Hope this helps.

    B12

    I’m a stickler for looking at the fillers in supplements and tend to go for no fillers. This is what I was prescribed as my B12 and I was disappointed to see all the other ingredients stuffed into the pill. Purified talc? Aspartame? Amongst others. It tasted sweet too. I am on injections now...

    Libre 2 scanning issue
