What are the risks of glucosamine causing diabetes, especially with the long term use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unknown, unlikely: In the short term, glucosamine has not been shown to have any affect on sugar or developing diabetes. Long-term affects are unknown, but no evidence exists to suspect that long-term use of glucosamine will lead to a higher risk of developing diabetes. Further studies are needed to prove this though.
