Yes they are good to try. Even though they are relatively safe they are not much scientifically tested. So its better to talk to a general medicine physician to see what is best for the patient accordingly. Blood sugar can raise but blood pressure has no correlation with these medicines. If no improvement in pain with glucosamine after three months it can be stopped.
