  1. I have been a type 2 diabetic since in found out when i had a stroke in 2001. In 2003 I found out I had VA benefits coming, and that the type 2 diabetes was Agent Orange related. After about 6 years on metformin, I had my doctor remove it from me, since my A1C went down to 6.1. IN the mean time, I had carpal tunnel and ulnar nerve surgery to prevent the progression of the nueropathy in my hands. Needless to say, I protested to being removed from metformin, but is was to no avail. This caused the nueropathy in my legs to get much worse, i had vision problems, as well as increased cramps and stabbing pains in my legs. I finally went to the patient advocate and got a new doctor, who immediately put me back on metformin. Do I have any recourse against the Va for this?
