I don't think brand matters much from a blood glucose perspective.

But do you have a specific reason to want to supplement? Did you have labworks showing a deficiency?

hi
Thank you for the reply.
Yes they are a bit low and heard metformin makes B12 deficiency later.

I said brand because I am not sure if any brand has no sugar or safe for diabetes products....

Tablets are very small and they cannot contan more grams of glucose than their actual weight.
So if whatever type of tablet weighs 1 gram, it can't be more than 1 gram of carbs even if most of the tablet is glucose.

A negligable amount, unless you are on a very strict carnivore diet or such.

I take vitB12 daily and iron intermittently. Obviously I can't mention brands here, but I strongly recommend you source those without additives, bulking agents or preservatives. I have to keep my vitamin supplements refrigerated because they are pure, but iron is less sensitive. You can't overdose B12 as you just excrete the extra, but it's easy to get iron wrong, so go carefully.
