Too much glucosamine can cause the death of pancreatic cells, increase diabetes risk, researchers find

"High doses or prolonged use of glucosamine causes the death of pancreatic cells and could increase the risk of developing diabetes, according to a team of researchers at Université Laval's Faculty of Pharmacy."

I know glucosamine is recommended especially for those with aches and pains in their joints but it pays to be careful when taking these alternative supplements. Always consult your doctor especially if you are already on medication and never exceed the stated dose. If in doubt, ask.
