Message: <blockquote data-quote="jjraak" data-source="post: 2672904" data-attributes="member: 493719">Well, just to confuse matters, had my latest draw of HBA1c blood checks.My NHS B12 came back as 544.So range used is the 180-900 standard as [USER=81557]@Nicola M[/USER] posts.As for being High in active form, no idea, I never get that result.However, while I had concerns & issue regarding mine at dx 235.so took supplements..(up to 335).I too had a sabbatical,( enforced sadly ), so no lchf for close on 2 years ..and my B12 is now mid range, which suggests to me that at 60+ I'm getting enough b12 from my non lchf & Metformin free diet, to not need the supplements at moment, which was reassuring ...and likely you are currently doing the same.So if it was me, if & when you go back on the lchf wagon & begin (?) taking Metformin, I'd suggest doing as [USER=372207]@Antje77[/USER] saysGet b12 added to your HBA1c tests.I asked and it gets added to each now, no problem.  But it isn't unless you ask.  (Which I think is wrong, given how Metformin is a known quantity in lowering b12 fir some )And your post has taught me something new, as well...which is nice.Every day's a school day on hereGood luck getting to the bottom of it [USER=171991]@Potteron[/USER] .</blockquote>
