The site Hormones Matters is ground zero for all things thiamine. It will give you much insight into diabetes and thiamine, with linkages to high dose thiamine for Parkinson. Site here -

From the site here is just one paper - Diabetes and Thiamine: A Novel Treatment Opportunity

Here is another - Thiamine Insufficiency Relative to Carbohydrate Consumption

And here is a thread with video on HU with an intriguing explanation - The Rational For High Dose Thiamine
