I'm taking metformin. I guess I need to add some B12 to the regimen. I can't take a multivitamin because I wind up with too much Vit. D. Doc told me to stop taking that. Some loss of kidney function. When I went to my usual VA doc appt about 5 months ago, as soon as she walked in the room I asked her why I felt terrible and I mean horrible, all day every day for awhile. She looked at the fasting blood work and said "Oh, you have diabetes". I had already told my wife that is probably what I have. It was at 8.6 That will make you feel bad. It's down now quite a bit. She was pleased with the results the other day, when I saw her.
