Consult with your DR: Studies of Milk Thistle supplements have shown a decrease in blood sugar levels and an improvement in cholesterol in people with type 2 diabetes. They have also shown reduced insulin resistance. But in any disease, each person will respond differently. Check with your Dr who is monitoring your Diabetes, since they know your history and course they can best advise you on supplements.
