High-sugar diets can significantly affect your vitamin B1 levels. A vitamin B1 deficiency can cause fluid retention and lactic acid buildup, which can show up as restless legs syndrome. Many complications associated with diabetes type 1 and type 2 are related to vitamin B1 deficiency.
Vitamin B1, or thiamine, supports a healthy nervous system and the process that turns fuel into usable energy in the body.

Allithiamine is a fat-soluble natural form of vitamin B1, which easily permeates the cell membrane and the blood-brain barrier. Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 that may be beneficial for people with blood sugar issues.
Pork, beef, organ meats, eggs, fish, and nuts are the best food sources of vitamin B1. Unfortified nutritional yeast is also a good source.
