Deficiency of vitamins increases the risk of diabetes
Diabetes is a condition that is usually characterized by an elevated level of sugar (glucose) in blood. One problem is that glucose can interact through the biochemical process (glycation) to tissues in the body, which can damage tissues and lead to complications. Namely glycation is a major cause of the problems associated with diabetes, including nerve damage, loss of eyesight or heart disease. A new study by researchers from the University of Essex in Colchester, United Kingdom shows that there is another potential mechanism that causes complications in diabetes. The results, published in the journal Diabetes showed that patients with diabetes is very characteristic deficiency of vitamin B1 (thiamine). In patients with diabetes by type of first and second levels of vitamin B1 in the blood is reduced by 3 / 4. Low levels of vitamin B1 can be explained by an increase in its loss through the kidneys. Deficiency causes deterioration of appetite, fatigue, muscle aches, paralysis of the arm or leg, difficulty walking, heart failure. Many of these problems are well known complications of diabetes.
In his next research scientists plan to clarify whether these symptoms may improve or disappear with the additional intake of B1. People who want to control your diabetes and reduce the risk of complications, must comply with appropriate diet with low glycemic index or low glycemic load (low-Glycemic-index and low-Glycemic-load diet). Products rich in refined sugar and starch should be used in very limited quantities. And of course, recommended physical activity. Particularly rich in vitamin B1 for green vegetables, legumes and many whole grain foods.
