[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 633049, member: 12578"] Jack it has been known for a few years that people with diabetes may be deficient in thiamine [MEDIA=youtube]UNRaFjdeuZk[/MEDIA] The work at Warwick continues but like all this research takes time and money. So far the evidence for a benefit from thiamine supplementation is thin. There have been a couple of trials using [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benfotiamine']Benfotiamine [/URL]for neuropathy. One was only for three weeks, the second for 6. This showed a decrease in symptoms particularly pain in patients given Benfotiamine . [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18473286[/url] There are also rat studies that suggest that it may help reduce inflammation. However, this recent short review ends 'There is no convincing evidence that taking supplements of thiamine or benfotiamine has any beneficial effects in patients with diabetes mellitus' [url]http://www.diapedia.org/management/thiamine[/url] [/QUOTE]
