There is some evidence that hexosamines increase insulin resistance – though most of the research is in rodents. Diabetes Australia advises people to check their HbA1c before trialling glucosamine for say 3 months, and keeping lifestyle and medications the same, then re-checking HbA1c. If it has gone up, then discontinue it.GI Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609354784645028388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13473599.post-8960895536493593702007-12-05T04:14:00.000+11:002007-12-05T04:14:00.000+11:00I have used glucosamine sulfate for over five year...I have used glucosamine sulfate for over five years to help address a weakening in my right knee.
