#Metformin is a very commonly used #drug used to treat type 2 #diabetes mellitus. The latest #NHS #guidelines (1) point out that this can commonly lead to reduced #vitamin B12 levels, which than can lead to many neurological problems, including #fatigue, #lethargy, #pins and needles (#paraesthesia), changes in the way that you walk and move around, #irritability and #depression (2). If you take metformin, please pay attention.
