B12 deficiency is most commonly associated with pernicious anemia -- but if you're seeing your physician regularly, then they can probably do some blood tests and tell you about that.
It is true that metformin is associated with B12 deficiency, so get it checked out soon, and have them administer some B12 supplementation if your levels are low
