The aim of this study was to determine the effect of glucosamine supplementation on fasting blood glucose level, fasting insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetic patients. In this randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled clinical trial, a total number of 58 type 2 diabetic patients were selected from Shiraz health care centers. They were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received 1500 mg glucosamine hydrochloride supplements once a day, while the control group received placebo capsules. They were intervened for twelve weeks. Blood samples were collected from the fasted participants at weeks of 0, 4, 8 and 12. Fasting blood glucose levels were measured at weeks of 0, 4, 8 and 12, while glycosylated hemoglobin, insulin and markers of insulin resistance (HOMA and QUICKI indices) were assessed in the weeks of 0, 8 and 12.
