Default Metformin's role in causing or exacerbating neuropathy?

Aside from lowering vitamin B12 levels and blocking the thiamine transporter, can metformin cause, contribute to, or exacerbate neuropathy via any other mechanism?

Have any of you all (either prediabetic or with diabetes) taken metformin following your SFN diagnosis? Did it exacerbate your neuropathy symptoms (assuming your B12 levels were adequate and sufficient Thiamine intake)?
