SERUM VITAMIN B12, FOLIC ACID, HOMOCYSTEINE, AND GLYCEMIC CONTROL MARKERS IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES BY METFORMIN AND OTHER ORAL ANTIDIABETIC MEDICATIONS.
In patients with type 2 diabetes, prolonged high-dose metformin use is linked to worsened glycemic control, increased homocysteine, and vitamin B12 deficiency. For patients receiving long-term metformin therapy, routine vitamin B12 monitoring is advised to reduce the risk of complications from deficiencies.
