[QUOTE="Danmiluk, post: 2196956, member: 518541"] I've been taking folic acid tablets after I was put on insulin, metformin tablets depletes b12 and folic acid in some people. I was exhausted all the time, there was days I would get up after sleeping for 12hrs and stìll feel the same, my vision was blurry , pins and needles in my hands and feet but the worst was the cold. I've always been warm even in the depths of winter, never worn a hat, scarf or gloves but my hands and feet were ice cold all the time. Got my thyroid check nothing wrong there, read a few things about metformin and the effects of vitamin b and other minerals . Had to ask my GP for these tests to be done. Boom no folic acid googled where folic comes from apparently it comes from all the food that you eat but metformin might inhibit it in some people. Guess who fell in that category. I would ask you GP for thyroid, b12 and folic checks and see how you get on. I'm back to my old self all cosy toastie and loads of energy. All the best Dan [/QUOTE]
