1 Logistic regression models were developed to explore the association between B12 deficiency and metformin dose. Metformin NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B3 Homo sapiens
2 It was observed that OP who consumed high doses of metformin had 1.9 times the risk of B12 deficiency (OR: 1.9; 95%CI: 1,08- 3,30). Metformin NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B3 Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSION: These results show a strong association between high doses of metformin and low levels of vitamin B12 in diabetic elderly. Metformin NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B3 Homo sapiens
