This article may sound to you like Elisha's directive to Naaman sounded to him. "Go and wash in the Jordan seven times..." (2 Kings 5: 1 - 15) At first Naaman refused this easy cure for his leprosy as being too simple.
This information on Diabetes sounds almost too simple to me, but the medical literature (not the popular stuff out there) says researchers have "shown conclusively that diabetic patients are thiamine deficient in blood plasma". Please go to the source articles and even print them out for your doctor. It is hot off the press and I would really be surprised if very many doctors have seen it yet.
The summary article is at the following URL:

The article, "High prevalence of low plasma thiamine concentration in diabetes linked to a marker of vascular disease", was published on August 4, 2004 in the journal, Diabetologia.
Many of the complications of diabetics are those related to blood vessels not functioning correctly. This can give rise to
Damage to the retina of the eye which can lead to vision problems.
Peripheral neuropathy or pain in the arms and legs due to nerve damage.
Damage to the heart due to damaged blood vessels.
Inflammation to blood vessel walls.
High blood pressure.
Kidney damage which can lead to the need for dialysis.
The cause for these complications? Loss of thiamine (Vitamin B1) from the body. This is due not to lack of thiamine in the diet, but the loss of it by way of the kidneys.
Doctors typically test for levels of thiamine by measuring the activity of transketolase. This can check out as being normal when the level in either Diabetes I or Diabetes II will actually be only a quarter of the level needed.
Please, please, please check with your medical specialist before any more damage is done!
