Hi Everyone not posted for awhile but i still find time to have a read I went for my 6mth check up this week and it came back as serious lack of red blood cells I am going for tests Endoscopy stomach and bottom as the Doctor said i am loosing blood somewhere and she is starting with this as it could be really serious this is what i want to ask I have been on Metformin since 2003 on one tablet morning and night but 2013 i was put on an extra tablet morning and night ( 4 tablets a day ) I have read that being on Metformin for 12 yrs and over can change your red blood cells and also in the info paper there is a 1 in 10.000 that it can affect your red blood cells causing being lacking in vitamin B12 Can i ask has anyone had problems like this Thanks welcome any advice
