[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1860537, member: 365308"] Hello As you will see from my thread below, I am investigating this on behalf of my father in law who has diabetic neuropathy and has been getting vit B12 injections for years (no improvement) due to his metformin induced deficiency. Symtoms* of B12 deficiency are a bit vague but unlike the supplement mentioned below, B12 jabs are available on the NHS so it is worth asking your GP. *Poor hair condition Eczema or dermitis Mouth ulcer, sensitive to heat or cold Irritability [B]Lack of energy[/B] Constipation Tender or sore muscles Pale Skin The thread I started references R- alpha linoeic acid. It is regarded as safe because its a naturally produced substance. I checked and the only contraindications are being pregnant and/or taking insulin or sulphonyureas of which metformin is not one. The downside is that it is not cheap and it seems you need to be careful to get the bio-active versions. I have also got a book on a similar topic 'The Antioxidant Miracle' Lester Parker which was given a very positive review by someone on this forum who had radically improved their symptoms.
