To B(1), Or Not To B(1)

I'm reading up on the benefits of thiamine, and of course the side effects of too much, as well as symptoms of deficiency (reading up on it for my own personal use to deal with a few issues), and discovered that confabulation was a symptom of deficiency. And knowing things like rickets (yet another health issue brought on by thiamine deficiency) are common amongst the morbidly obese, I now wonder what Audrey's B1 levels must be like. 

Just thinking out loud. Just a thought. And knowing how long her diabetes was left untreated, knowing the effects that have on the kidneys, between her twisting the truth and the diabetes, it could be beneficial for her to be on this. 

Of course I won't mention it to her or my sister, because I'm not a medical professional. I do think it's a valid thing to muse about though.
