Is it true that long-term glucosamine can affect pancreatic cells and increase the risk of diabetes?

Good morning, Madam,

This information comes from old reports whose methodology does not allow us to draw conclusions with certainty. On the other hand, several studies on this subject have not shown any risk on blood sugar levels or the occurrence of diabetes in people who use it safely.

As a precautionary measure in people with diabetes, monitoring blood sugar levels a little more closely during the first few weeks of using glucosamine is sufficient.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
