Does anyone know if there is a link between metformin and Vitamin B12 deficency. A friend of mine who is D2 and on metformin had a blood test whcih shows this deficency. He is now having regular (ie once every two months) Vit12 injections. Apparently signs of the deficency are absolute fatigue, numbness in limbs some memory loss.
I spoke to a consultant about this and he said that he had never heard of it. looked it up on his computer and said that it only affected 1% of diabetics. Very slight I know but what if you are in the 1% bracket?
I'm seeing my doc on Monday and hope to ask him abut this. I'd be really grateful for any observations.
