TO THE EDITOR: I enjoyed reading “Should metformin be used in every patient with type 2 diabetes” by Makin and Lansang in the January 2019 issue.1
I just wanted to point out that metformin is a frequent cause of low serum vitamin B12 levels, and serum vitamin B12 levels should be monitored intermittently in patients using metformin.
