Welcome to Connect, @marlenerose33.
Along with some more information on the significance of b12 levels, https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003705.htm I found this recent study that I thought might interest you:
"An observational study of vitamin b12 levels and peripheral neuropathy profile in patients of diabetes mellitus on metformin therapy” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1871402117302874
With regard to neuropathy, very often there is no identifiable cause – there are a number of conditions that can trigger it. May I ask if you noticed anything that might have triggered the neuropathy?

Hi, my dad’s B12 test results came very high.
Basically his B12 level is >2000 when the normal range is 200-900.
Is it normal? Should we worry about it? Any other tests that we need to check.
With his current chemo Pemetrexed , the doctor told to take B12 shots 7 days before the chemo with folic acid and he did it during last chemo. His another cycle is coming in one week and I guess we should stop B12 but very confused now since there are many discussion on that. Thanks
