You will learn how important taking a methyl B12 on an empty stomach every morning until your levels reach over 1000. Metaformin drains it from you. I took mega doses when I learned how bad low levels can be. I felt improvement right away. I'm sure I can walk on my heels again because of it.

I was given an mri of my back as part of the workup.
but may not be bad enough to be symptomatic. Mine was 119 at one point and didn't have symptoms until I had a small car crash. I believe that Metformin taken over time can block b-12 absorbtion in a certain percentage of people. I am thinking one-third. So in my book that means if you take Metformin you need to know what that number is. I took shots monthly plus pills and felt improvement over the course of 5 or 6 mo. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.
