[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1138485, member: 17713"] Yes thats why I went for infusions and bought my own b12 conalamin.... This is linked to your intrinsic factor being defunct... However with it being metformin tablet related... Does the tablet alter the ability of the intrinsic factor or just lower the b12? Would be better to add in extra b12 through diet and then supplements which are pretty cheap if its jyst tablet lowering levels and can be kept upward. If it is linked to stomach abilities as mine was... Then injections are the best option. I know for me my GP investigated me after I was so forgetful. And overwhelming tiredness. It was Seriously bad. He put me to stroke unit. They ordered blood tests and stomach oscopies....and then was started initially on weekly injections. However..rest of my story already stated. You need to consider doing everything diet wise to include b12 at optimal levels. Most docs will check b12 and folate if requested.. [/QUOTE]
