TI  - Perspectives on Peripheral Neuropathy as a Consequence of Metformin-Induced 
      Vitamin B12 Deficiency in T2DM.

AB  - Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a primary complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus 
      (T2DM) and a direct manifestation of vitamin B12 deficiency. Examining the 
      effects of metformin use on PN status became imperative following clinical 
      studies that showed the vitamin B12-lowering effect of the medication. The 
      complexity of the topic and the inconsistency of the results warrant 
      consideration of topic-specific perspectives for better understanding of the 
      available evidence and more appropriate design of future studies.
