While Old English breaking supplied short counterparts to the u-diphthongs, the Old Frisian breaking of e yielded a short diphthong *eu which was raised to iu when original *eu and *iu developed into iä and iü, respectively, e.g. siucht < *seuxp < *sexp < *sexip 'sees' (with restored root vowel, cf.

You see, we say Old Frisian, but in fact, the surviving texts that we have are from periods which would qualify as the middle periods for most Germanic languages (e.g. Middle English).
