there is a huge overlap with the symptoms of diabetes, particularly in relation to neuropathy, though the causal mechanism is different.list of symptoms can be found here

metformin can interfere with the uptake of B12 in the gut but many GPs aren't aware of this.

You may find it useful to look at this forum

PA is the most common cause of non-dietary B12 deficiency, but there are other potential causes. I think you may already have posted on that forum and this may have been posted on this forum by accident.

Unfortunately there isn't really a fool proof test for B12 deficiency and, again, many GPs aren't aware of the limitations of the tests that are available.
