“Conclusion/interpretationSupplementation with high-dose thiamine may prevent deterioration in fasting glucose and insulin , and improve glucose tolerance in patients with hyperglycemia.”
“PREVIOUS work has demonstrated that in pancreatic diabetes a disturbance of the thiamine phosphorylation processes occurs and that the administration of insulin enhances the phosphorylation of thiamine provided that a sufficient amount of this substance is available to the organism1.”
“ Thiamin deficiency resulted in increased plasma glucose (18%) and lactate (3- to 4-fold) as well as in a 30% decrease in insulin and an increase in glucagon (2.6-fold) and corticosterone (3.6-fold).”
