Have you tried diet and/or exercise to get your BG under control?I can believe the problems with metformin - the SR version gave me bleeding gastritis. I wonder though if you don't have some other gastric issue going on - it usually takes a couple of years for metformin to interfere with nutrient absorption enough to cause symptoms of B12 deficiency. Coeliac and/or NCGS (non-coeliac gluten sensivity) is another common cause of those kinds of symptoms.As well as the B12 deficiency, have you been tested for folate and ferritin?Might be worthwhile trying a gluten free diet to see if it helps.</blockquote>
