A member asked:
My md has recently written in my physical exam, deep tendon response is sluggish. what does it mean and what are the implications? i take 500mgmetfor
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: There are metabolic and neurologic causes of sluggish reflexes. Ask him/her what was meant and what sort of followup is necessary. If you are taking metformin for diabetes ask what other neurological tests were done and whether you have peripheral diabetic neuropathy.
