Hello,
MILK THISTLE is a herbal supplement and is given for treatment of liver disorders,gallbladder disorders and even diabetes,however there is no scientific data backing this claim and hence it's use is controversial.
In my opinion you must consult a diabetologist and a gastroenterologist for the proper management of your problems instead of relying on milk thistle.
Thanks
