Dr. Mike: Diabetes, Probiotics, Flyers

A popular diabetes drug may block the absorption of vitamin B12.

Dr. Mike told Mike and Sheinelle that a recent study has found that Glucophage reduces to absorption rate of the vitamin. Dr. Mike said if you take medication for diabetes you should check in with your doctor and possibly have a B12 level test.

Dr. Mike also discussed the benefits of taking probiotics. Probiotics are good bacteria found in yogurt that can help boost your immune system. A study of three to six year olds found a 24-percent reduction in ear aches, sinus infections, and diarrhea in children who ingested probiotics once a day.
