Milk Thistle for Diabetes: Does it Help and Why?

Understanding the causes of Diabetes from the Milk Thistle perspective

Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by high glucose levels in the blood, also known as blood sugar. Glucose is the body’s main source of energy and is a critical element in cellular function.

Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, normally transports glucose into the cells. However, when the body is unable to produce enough insulin or use it properly, blood glucose levels increase, leading to diabetes.

If left untreated, diabetes can lead to several health complications especially for the eye, kidney, nerves, as well as can cause heart diseases.

Type I diabetes is an autoimmune disorder where the body produces little to no insulin. Without insulin, glucose cannot be transported to the cells that need it.  When cells do not use glucose, insulin sends it to be stored in the liver.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes. In this form of diabetes, the pancreas produces insulin, however, the body is unable to use it properly because of insulin resistance.
