Hi
I am a T2 and currently controlling my BS with a strict diet and exercise.
I have recently injured my knee whilst cycling (resulting in significantly reduced exercise) and many has recommended glucosamine supplement as potentially helpful.
I've done a little research and it seems that glucosamine may have a negative impact on BS and insulin resistance. I appreciate that there are differing opinions on this, however, I would rather not take a risk.
I am considering using a gel (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Optima-Health-Glucosamine-Joint-Complex/dp/B002K5RE9S ) and would appreciate any thoughts if this reduces or eliminates the risk.
Many thanks
