glucosamine and insulin resistance

**boxer08** · 09-20-2008, 10:16 AM

Im guessing alot of people have heard that glucosamine can cause insulin resistance. What's your opinion on this?

I have seen several articles that stated short term use does not have profound effects. I believe when it is injected at high doses that is when it becomes a problem. Just make sure when taking for long periods to have your blood sugar levels monitored.

Bump for a read. This is something everyone is probably not aware of and I believe people should take note
