Hi all. This is a bit of an odd one but does anyone have constantly tingling/throbbing lips?

Diagnosed t2 but GP suspects LADA, waiting on tests at the hospital. Have a FL2 and my sugars are within range. Drinking plenty of water also. Take metformin, dapag and glic. No allergies.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Thank you.
 
Tingling lips can be a sign of a hypo, but if you’re testing then it’s not that. Is the tingling just in your lips or elsewhere in your face? Is it all over your lips or just in one part of them?

A deficiency of B bits can affect the lips and I believe Metformin can sometimes cause a deficiency as well. Have you tried B vits?

If you’ve ruled out all obvious causes, it would be worth a chat with your GP, I’d think.
