Hello,
As regards the B12 deficiency, please let me know on what basis have been able to identify this? Is there a blood report showing lower levels of B12? Because only based on symptoms that you have stated one can not conclude such a thing. The symptoms mentioned could be due to peripheral neuropathy, which can be a consequence of undetected diabetes.

Hence, please check your fasting, PP glucose and HbA1c%. If diabetes is present then that needs to be appropriately treated. As regards the fruit that you have mentioned You may have to refer to specific sites which offer information on that fruit or its products. The various claims made do not seem to be medically or clinically substantiated.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prabhakar Laxman Jathar, Diabetologist
