Diabetes is linked to acute thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency

It definitely is true. I know a few diabetics who no longer take [synthetic] insulin and reversed their diabetes. Also they had blood work done to see which vitamins and minerals they were deficient in and started to supplement with a good pharmaceutical grade supplements.

Many diabetics are deficient in trace minerals--especially chromium and vanadium. Chromium and Vanadium shown to help metabolize glucose and regulate blood sugar levels.

Even if people didn't go as in depth as you have and just thought a out what they ate and got some basic exercise, this type 2 diabetes would be a thing of the past. Why aren't doctors focusing more on nutrition and exercise? I know, I know...follow the money.

I have a close personal friend that developed type 2 diabetes in his late 40's. after a couple of years on all types of meds, he finally started eating right a began walking. Nothing crazy. He lost weight slowly over time, dropping about 50-60lbs. He doesn't take any of his meds any longer and is basically 'cured' of the type 2. All he does now is eat right and walk a few miles a day.

Imagine if everybody could eat right and walk a few miles a day. Simple diet and exercise.

Exactly.
