[QUOTE="Energize, post: 1299954, member: 28960"] Thanks Brunneria :) I'll check out the link re Cholesterol when I get a minute. I agree, that could be useful should the nurse start on the 'Statins' line, as per usual. I don't want to take statins again and, also, I'm on so many meds that I really don't want to add more, increasing the risk of interactions etc. Apart from that, I don't believe the stuff that the professionals spout, t be honest ;) Yes, I'm on metformin 1G twice a day, and have been for a few years now so, yes, I understand Metformin can have this effect. Yes, I also take MultiVit tablets, including iron, which include 100% RDA of Vit B12, interestingly enough. I've checked the foods where we get Vit B12 from and I do eat meat, some fish, lots of vegs and salads, plus some fruit when blood glucose allows etc, or incorporated with a meal (usually with cream :) ) So, on that basis, the iron could be supplementing an otherwise lowering level, I suppose. I do have other problems that I have discovered can be caused by Vit B12 deficiency so I wonder if this could be more symptomatic than appreciated but, on the other hand, could be due to many other things too, of course. It will be interesting to see what the nurse says, or doesn't say, about this. I don't find them particularly helpful or supportive and feel they just want to 'tick the boxes' and get on with something else :( Thanks again for your comments :) [/QUOTE]
