Should people with diabetes avoid taking GLUCOSAMINE? What is the alternative?

Question: My mother has osteoarthritis and she was prescribed with GLUCOSAMINE - but she also has diabetes. I am thinking that from the name itself, it sounds like sugar - GLUCOSE!

What can she take instead of GLUCOSAMINE?

Answers:
If it is 'Nutrilite' Brand Nutural Glucosamine, which is effective in Osteoarthritis, nothing to do with sugar & glucose. It has no side effect, safely can be taken for Osteoarthritis.
I thing nothing can replace Glucosamine, however you can ask your Dr. or who has prescribed you the Glucosamine.
