[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 260613"] After a few years, not a few weeks, it may decrease your B12 levels. [url=http://www.bmj.com/content/340/bmj.c2181.full]http://www.bmj.com/content/340/bmj.c2181.full[/url] It is however heart protective. There are plenty of studies that show people using Metformin have fewer Myocardial Infarctions and Heart Attacks compared with those using other oral drugs. If you are running high numbers then it is pretty useless if you do not change your eating habits as it only decreases your blood sugars by a small percentage. It is not a miracle pill but is an aid to control. [/QUOTE]
