Patient's question:
A while ago, when I was moving things, I accidentally bumped my leg. It was quite serious and even swelled up. It hurt a lot. My child helped me buy Glucosamine Hydrochloride tablets, but I've had diabetes for many years, so I didn't dare to take them, afraid of any side effects. Can people with diabetes take Glucosamine Hydrochloride tablets?Doctor's answer:
The glucosamine hydrochloride tablets can treat and prevent pain in various parts affected by osteoarthritis, such as the knee joint, hip joint, spine, shoulder joint, wrist joint, and ankle joint. Diabetic patients suffering from knee pain can take this medication orally. However, when taking this oral medication, it is important to control blood sugar levels to avoid fluctuations that may worsen the condition. Of course, if the patient's knee pain is not particularly severe, it is recommended to take a walk after meals or engage in light exercise to prevent blood sugar spikes that could affect the progression of the disease.
