Hi,
my mind can be a strange and wonderous place.. I was reading that marmite can help stop midges munching on you, I go camping In Scotland in the summer and midges love biting me , some say that they like the sweet blood of diabetics , the article I was reading said that marmite ( eating it , not rubbing it on ) increases thiamin in the blood and the little biting bu**ers dont like it so stay clear. So I googled thiamin and diabetes ... hmmmm... interesting ... loads of articles about diabetics having a thiamin deficiency , thiamin deficiency effect ability to handle carbs ....
So if I eat loads of marmite ( source of thiamin ) will that help my diabetes ?
