Abstract

Introduction: Type 2 DIABETES is the most common metabolic disorder with progressive incidence.Metformin is the first choice treatment in type 2 DIABETES. There are evidences that chronic of METFORMIN consumption results in VITAMIN B12 deficiency, therefore we aimed to evaluate VITAMIN B12 levels in diabetic patients with and without METFORMIN usage.Methods: Overall, 90 type 2 diabetic patients were selected. A questionnaire containing personal information and duration of DIABETES and drug information was completed.Laboratory tests including CBC, FBS, HbA1C and VITAMIN B12 levels were measured. Serum vitamin B 12 below 200 pg / ml was considered as low. Patients divided into two groups with and without METFORMIN taking and all variables compared between these two groups.Results: Mean age of patients was 52.5±5.72 years.76, patients were consumed METFORMIN and 14 patients didn’t take it. The mean duration of METFORMIN using was 4.95±4.57 years. The prevalence of VITAMIN B12 deficiency in all patients was 73.3%. VITAMIN B12 level in METFORMIN users was 159.7±132.5 pg/ml and in non - METFORMIN users was125.4±116.2 (p=0.79). There was no significant difference between two groups regarding to B12 level and MCV. There was not any significant difference in dosage (p=0.80) and duration (p=0.63) of METFORMIN treatment between patients with and without B12 deficiency.Also there was no statistically significant difference in other parameters in B12 deficient patients and others.Conclusion: VITAMIN B12 deficiency was common in our diabetic patients but there was no relation between METFORMIN consumption and serum VITAMIN B12 concentration.
