Video from Thiamine Researchers

Thanks for that goji.
As this was May 2008 I have looked for updates from Warwick University but cannot find any.

Thanks again,
Catherine.
 
There is an RDA mentioned in the Wikepaedia article. However, any supplement or dosage should be discussed with your GP as there may be interactions with other medications.

There are four separate pathways that occur in the body that can lead to small blood vessel damage due to hyperglycemia in diabetes.

* Advanced glycation endproducts (AGE)
* Protein kinase C (DAG)
* Hexosamine pathway activation
* Polyol pathway activation

This is a flow diagram of these four pathways



If the body has sufficient thiamine to activate the transketolase pathway the diagram changes to this:
