What are the best food sources of vitamin B1

Vitamin B1 or Thiamin is found in a variety of animal and plant food. Important sources are vegetables, wholegrain products, pluses and nuts. The best animal source is pork meat. Other sources are also milk, cheese, peas, fresh and dried fruit, eggs. Thiamin has a number of important functions: It works with other B-group vitamins to help break down and release energy from the food we eat and it helps keep nerves and muscle tissue healthy.

Funny, I am not convinced this is a symptom of diabetes or a symptom of the diet most diabetics are placed on...

Look at the sources of B1... Milk, Cheese and fruit are generally limited in their intake by diabetics due to their carb levels.

Is this a symptom of the disease? or a result of the restrictive diet diabetics generally are placed on?
