Metformin and B12 Levels
My husband takes Metformin. He has just been for his review and I badgered him to ask if his B12 had been tested and if so, what the level was. I didn't think he'd ask. He's very resistant to doing things like that. But he did. He's been on Metformin since lockdown. His level of B12 today is "fine

Dizziness
I started doing SI EOD recently following great advice from forum members. I saw a different GP at my new surgery last week and she was very helpful. She has referred me to a neurologist but said the waiting time could be more than a year, she has also arranged for me to have a heart monitor 5 day

Found some old results
From all my test results in my bio, it is known I am a poor convertor. From recommendations within the Group back in 2016 it was felt I needed to add some T3, which my Endo at the time wouldn't do because of my severe anxiety levels and he said it would have to be dosed very carefully.

Folate
I did a full bloods Medichecks test. They have emailed me saying: Unfortunately, they were unable to process your folate biomarker. The results the lab were able to process, will be uploaded once they have been reviewed by a member of the medical team for you. I’m a bit non-plussed as I stopped taking
