Lightbulb I am sorry to be late coming back....

Lots of stuff seems to fall all at once on me now and then!

What may be happening, is that sudden change in blood sugars and perhaps some hypoglycemia is causing your sensory changes. When blood sugar dips suddenly numbness/tingling can be a signal.

You may accomodate to this. It should not be progressive.

Another thing is that metformin (which is in Glucovance) does impair B12 absorption, but that would occur over time. If you are marginal or low to begin with, it will make it worse.

So taking a 1mg methycobalamin tablet (see our vitamin forum) may help you in that regard.

I would keep a journal as to when you have the PN symptoms. Whether they come and go, during the day, for example. If you see any progression you should contact your doctor. It is possible this is an adjustment issue, and it may fade away. I hope so, for you!
