Hi, thanks for your input. Vitamin B12 was checked and all ok. Maybe I approached the issue in this thread back to front (Talking about Metformin and prediabetes), but my main gripe is the pain and tingling, apart from diabetes I don't know what else can cause the body to develop this kind of...

yep, it came down from 44 to 40 which I was happy about. Unfortunately the pain/tingling has stuck around. The thing about the 40 blood test result is that was fasting, whenever I eats food I'm getting 9-10 on the meter reading 2 hours post meal. I would ideally like to have one of those blood...
