Very Nice Doctor. I am 53 years male, I am taking daily 500 mg Metformin, 2 mg Glimmepride along with a vitamin tablet contains Vitamin B12 of 15 mcg. After starting consuming this Vitamin tablet I have totally eliminated one of the finger numbness. This numbness was something like , even the outer skin used to unravel automatically. Now I am totally alright with this numbness by an economical vitamin tablet Neurobion forte. Thanks for your valuable information on the consequences.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

Im not diabetic and am here to support but this was helpful for my step-grandfather. He takes this and always naps. I assume its cause he feels tired but maybe some B12 can help.
Thanks for checking out this video and hoping this will be of value for your step-grandfather.
You're a wealth of information! Absolutely adored learning about these tips! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise! :)
Glad it was helpful!Thanks for your insight and feedback.
Ohh I love your outdoor background! I've learned so much about insulin this year with my own body having some issues. Thank you so much for always providing amazing and easy to follow descriptions in your videos!
I do enjoy the outdoor videos I have been doing.I don't know what I'll do once it starts snowing. Thanks for your feedback.
What a great video! Very well-explained content. Great example of using animated video clips with talking heads clips. And the background is just perfect. Interesting point you highlighted about vitamin B12 not generally being obtained from plant-based diets. Something for vegans and vegetarians to carefully take note of.
Much appreciated!I am glad you noted that particular point. The only reliable vegan sources of B12 are foods fortified with B12 (including some plant milks, some soy products and some breakfast cereals) and B12 supplements.
I love learning about the body and how it works. Great video!
Awesome! Thank you!
Such an informative video. Love your energy too!
Thank you so much!Thanks for the feedback!
What a great breakdown-- so informative ! Never knew that liver produced sugar ! Learn something everyday !!!
Glad it was helpful!

Bloopers were fun! I was wondering if it wasn’t cold! I’m in Vancouver and there’s no way I’d be wearing cotton outside. But I digress. Great informative video, AS USUAL! I need to check if I have B12 deficiency.
Please do.I shot the video at about 6.30 pm and it started getting chilly and did about 3-4 takes.I wanted to do a couple more but decided I'll rather go in and warm myself up.Thanks for watching.
This is good to know!
Great.Thanks for stopping by.

None of my doctors have told me about needing b12 they never check my b12 level
Which medication should replace metformine?
I had been on Metformin for years(not any more) and I had to ask my Doc for a B12 blood test.
I'll find out the results at the end of this month.
Thanks for sharing, good luck.
@@ThinkYourHealth test came back Good!
Interesting. I need to take some B12. Thumbs up from a small creator 😅
Thanks for the visit!Check your level with your Doctor.
what is the daily dose of Vit B12 supplement to be taken in order to prevent the deficiency?
Please talk about elevated RDW-SD and metformin as it relates to iron deficiency anemia and taking vitamin supplements for deficiencies. Thank you!
Really enjoyed this video, and the fun illustrations made it easy to watch and understand! I was not aware of Metformin and how that can cause B12 deficiencies, very interesting and good to know. Appreciate this info, thank you!
Glad it was of value.Thanks for watching.
Thanks doc.
Welcome!
Hey doctor would only 500mg of metformin affect the vitamin b12 deficiency?
Thanks in advance.
Taking Metformin for 7 months now. Just got a blood test and I now have low WBC - white blood cell count of 770. Concerning. Just started on high dose B12 - B complex Vitamin
Sir i have diabetes i taken metformin from 9 month know i am facing memory loss and brain neurology pain and derpession and my vitamin b12 level is 249 is the problem of vitamin 12 should i taken vitamin b12 tablet or injection
Great video, I just saw it. I was recently diagnosed with dibetese. It was 190 FBG and 8 mmol A1c. Doc gave me metformin 500 dose twice. BUT I quit it after two days, starting exercise (walking twice) and started low carb. Now my fasting level is 104 - 115, and PP (two hours after food) is 150 - 160. Should I take any medication at this. Look forward to your help and reply
Looks like your numbers have improved.Are these numbers off medication and what is your latest HbA1c?
Does Metformun cause Tachycardia ?
I am taking 2 gms. I have been having sinus Tachycardia and the Doctors couldn’t diagnose why? I am 43 yrs old with no cardiac history.
yes
Yes!
Great!
Yes
I am wondering if an enlarged liver is a possibly a side effect of diabetes. I am a 70 yo m with diabetes, HBP, Gout, and severe arthritis in my spine and neck from injuries. A few years back I was asked how heavily I drank because my liver was in bad shape. I watch my EFGR, and other enzyme counts when I have a blood work done. I am showing red blood cell anemia, even though I take a B12 pill daily. Can you advise me of more information I can look at or read to get a better handle on their problem, Thank you so much for your videos, I find them quite helpful.
Thank you for your feedback.I really appreciate this.Yes, diabetes can have an enlarged liver because of a variety of resons.It can be secondary to more fat infiltration, another reason could be incipient Liver cirrhosis and sometimes also because of an increased blood flow to the liver. The main treatment for anemia would be to treat the chronic condition. For example, as a diabetic , treatment would be to improve your blood sugars, that should help with the anemia.Without knowing your full medical history I would suspect there might be other reasons for your anemia as well.For example:
If your body is low in iron, which happens in some people with anemia of inflammation, your doctor will give you iron supplements. I would think your Doctor would have checked your iron panel.Have your Doctor review your medication list to see if there is correlation with your medications and your anemia.For example NSAIDS such as Ibuprofen can do so.If you are iron deficient as well your Doctor will then start a work up to figure out what is causing that: part of that work up would include a colonoscopy and urine analysis.Here is a resource you can read and educate yourself about anemia. :www.nhlbi.nih.gov/files/docs/public/blood/anemia-yg.pdf.
I was checked why my red blood cells are bigger than normal people.
General behaviour is ED
3 months ago, my doctor increase to 4 metformin 500mg each plus one additional galvus 50mg (night)
And day is remicron mr glaclazid 30mg x4 plus additional galvus 50mg
I find the blood sugar control is better
Last month, i buy b complex plus folic acid (b9) for supplements as i read i have deficiency. Than i experienced the good side effect is i have erection every morning
But i learned vit b conplex need to be taken after food, not empthy stomach.
Please advise in your professional view
Thanks
Please specify the common drugs
Here is a list to some of these drugs:omeprazole, pantoprazole, esomeprazole. These are all proton pump inhibitors, drugs that protect your stomach.Here is another list which you can follow with this link:www.ebmconsult.com/articles/vitamin-b12-medication-interactions-lower-levels
Great session on b12l...I had 1 question I had a low b12 2 years back ..now after taking injections and meganeuron I have improved a lot 90 percent I am fine....but still have anxiety related to negative thoughts ...my b12 is 507 now previously 2 years back it was 50 ......I haven't checked seretonin or cortisol test ...do you think these 2 can also be the reason for anxiety ....if you get time please reply thanks 🙏
Yes, B12 deficiency can cause what is termed as trigger symptoms one of them is anxiety.
@@ThinkYourHealth okay thank you doctor but my b12 has improved now still sometimes get anxiety but has improved a lot ..and my brain scan is all normal ...any time period doctor when it will be completely resolved ,as I said I have improved a lot but anxiety comes and goes
@@ThinkYourHealth I know sublingual works but what about b12 in a multivitamin...is it absorbable?
Yes more info on B12
If your are interested here are 2 videos I did on Vitamin B12: 9 Signs and symptoms of B12 deficiency YOU can't ignore! ua-cam.com/video/WIrH8Z9mjx4/v-deo.html and Causes, diagnosis, and treatment of vitamin B12 deficiency | ua-cam.com/video/OvkevObIBmo/v-deo.html
YESS
No my doctor did not check my b12 level and foot give me a hard time after standing too long and cant think strat most of the time
Thanks for sharing your experience and continue to monitor your B12 level coupled with monitoring.
If just be put on Metformin if had B12 deficiency for years I have 8wkly injections at my GPs UK but I have nerve damage and neurology issues so struggling . I'm worried the Metformin will deplete my B12 even more and I will become more unwell !! B12 deficiency isnt taken seriously enough here in the UK!
Dr. I am in IVF cycle after my embryo transfer my dr priscriped metformin tablet inculde progesterone tablet..i have normal sugar levels.... Why metformin
The reason is Metformin reduces increased insulin production.( Metformin decreases insulin resistance).By suppressing insulin, androgens( sex hormones such as testosterone) are suppressed as well.This is thought to help with reproductive outcomes.
@@ThinkYourHealth thank you sir..
After consuming diabetes medicine (metformin)... My mother left leg is swelled up and causing too much pain ..
Plz help doctor..
What to do next??
Unilateral leg swelling is unlikely from Metformin.If that were the case ( as it ca cause weight gain) it would be in both legs.In your case call your Doctor to ask for next steps as certain diagnosis need to be ruled out specifically a blood clot, infection in the leg, blockage in the lymphatic system, trauma , varicose veins & venous insufficiency
( usually both legs), baker's cyst with rupture ( start behind the knee).
Thank u sir
Yrs
Yes 🙋🏽
I wonder if lack of sunlight in Alaska would impact this
Thanks for checking this video.B12 won't be affected by sunlight, but Vitamin D definitely does.

How can a patient prove Vitamin B 12 deficiency to the doctor. Some doctors don't like to be advised.
You can ask while getting your blood drawn to check your B12 level. It's a simple add on to a blood draw.
cut the music
Appreciate feedback.
Yes, it does. 2 sec. No need to make 6 min video.
😂😂😂😅😂
Yes, you are correct. My husband has been on Metformin for 30 yrs. His endocrinologist has never tested him for B-12 depletion. We are going to be using B-12 patches for both of us and plan on 5000 mgs of B-12 daily. I am a recovering alcoholic so I am pretty confident that I need a huge B-12 boost as well. I am furious that doctors do not discuss supplementation when someone has a serious illness. All they want to do is write prescriptions for drugs that will cause another health problem along the way...just like Metformin does. My husband has terrible digestive/acid issues due to being on Metformin for so long. Doctors need to research and certify themselves as Doctors of Osteopathy so they can actually supplement and improve their patients' health...rather than endangering or killing them. The Medical Association is guilty of harming patients by withholding helpful supplements that could decrease the need for dangerous prescription meds.
My friend has severe Rheumatoid Arthritis and due to the Prednisone she was prescribed for over 40 yrs...it caused Insulin dependent Diabetes. That is why we will research supplementation for ourselves. When an illness can only be treated with a prescription...fine. But, otherwise, we'll take supplements over a prescription any day of the week!
Thanks for sharing your clinical experience.
