Metformin: Metformin does have side effects including low B12 . Low B12 can cause tingling in toes and fingers Would check you B12 level may need to supplement and would discuss the effects with you doctor, perhaps may need another medication. https://www.rxlist.com/consumer_metformin/drugs-condition.htm#what_are_side_effects_associated_with_using_metformin
