I have just been diagnosed with hyponatremia (low sodium) blood problems. I have seen a recent study where the use of Metformin can cause this. I have been using Metformin for about 30 years now, and I need to discuss this with my GP. I will add the link to that study if and when I uncover it again. My B12 test is fine, my ferritin is midrange and I am not anemic.

It is a mouse study so treat info with care - it may not apply directly to humans.
