Metformin alternatives
Hi all,Can anyone tell me what the recommend alternative drug for type2 diabetes is, other than Metformin. I'm recently diagnosed T2 diabetic and doctor wants me to take Metformin. I understand it can block b12 absorption. Many thanks

PCOS journey advice
I’m 28 and have been TTC for baby number 2 for 6 years. I was on Metformin for 4 years and the side effects were so brutal they advised me to stop. I’ve just had my second laparoscopy to remove a very large cyst which then gave me my first period after 2 years! My BMI is 34 which I am now trying so hard

vitamin B12 high
hi , have just had my blood tests results back had to have them done because I take statins and metformin. My vitamin b 12 has come back at 746 which apparently is abnormal, as anyone else had high vitamin B readings when taking statins or metformin ?
