I'm a pensioner with Type 2 diabetic and take Metformin tablets, I also take medication for high blood presure. I found the following online, and as I don't find it easy to contact my doctor these days, I throw the following question to sqad or anyone else out there to get an opinion.

Check with your doctor before taking glucosamine if you have diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, bleeding disorders, or high blood pressure
---------------------------------------
As I take Glucosamine Sulphate 500mg and various other vitamins for some years now, I'd like to know any relevant views from learned ABers.

You have been taking glucosamine in what I consider to be oldest dose, presumably for osteo arthritis, for years.
During those years you will have had many blood tests for your underlying conditions which I presume haven't shown any " red flags" and as such I see no reason why you should worry or change your routine.
