Can diabetics take glucosamine sulphate?

Beta, please ask your doctor before taking these big capsules. My neighbor who has sugar took some joint pain tablets and her reading went very high. It is always better to show the medicine strip to your doctor once.

Look, glucosamine is literally made from sugar molecules, so yes, it can impact your blood glucose. Don't just buy it because some ad told you to. Talk to your diabetologist and let them decide the right joint supplement for you.

If you are lifting weights and have joint pain, glucosamine can help, but as a diabetic, you need to watch your insulin sensitivity. Sometimes, healthy fats like omega-3 and a clean diet do the trick without messing with your glucose. Run it by your doc.

I freaked out when my father's sugar levels went up slightly after starting glucosamine sulphate. But his doctor told us it's a common side effect that stabilizes soon. We just adjusted his diet slightly, and now he is doing totally fine.

Please get your blood sugar and HbA1c checked before starting glucosamine. I ignored my slightly elevated sugar once and took regular supplements, which made things worse. Let a doctor evaluate your reports first.
