Some early studies have mentioned that Glucosamine may alter sugar levels. But anyways, it's just 500 mg capsule. Even if you take 4 caps, sugar is not going to increase much. Just 2 gm of sugar at the most. So not much evidence is available about adverse effect in diabetics. If sugar levels are not affected, then continue tablets. If sugar levels are getting affected, consult your doc. Basically, monitor sugars regularly.

It depends on the grade of your knee joint involvement In stages 3 and 4 glucosamine may not have much benefit For pain better to start exercising and use Physical modalities to relieve the pain
