[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 2091286, member: 13582"] A measured deficiency would be the best indicator. There is evidence that for Type 1 diabetics at least one of the issues is reduced thiamine (B1) levels which according to this artice "definitively has a role in the diabetic endothelial vascular diseases (micro and macroangiopathy), lipid profile, retinopathy, nephropathy, cardiopathy, and neuropathy." Which is essentially every complication we have. My feeling is that if that is the suggestion, and it is not going to cause me problems why not take additional B1 as a precaution? This is the link: [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3376872/[/URL] Also, for vitamin D there is simply not enough sunlight in the UK for all of us to have optimal vitamin D synthesis from sun exposure, especially if we are covered in suntan lotion when there is some sun so I take D3 with K2 supplements year round. Supplements aren't a silver bullet for diabetic complications but they can help. Blood Sugar 101 has some good info on useful vs useless. Best Dillinger [/QUOTE]
