It's very difficult because the shots I had raised my blood sugars quite a bit. And the oral medication they gave me did nothing.

I know some people swear by things such as herbs or acupuncture. Some use CBD oils but those aren't even monitored by the government so you can't trust that you're getting what they claim (a local tv news station did a segment on that and proved how the numbers were all over the place so not reliable).

Cortisone shots do raise your blood sugars but only for a little but they are temporary and eventually you will need to get the joint replaced. I am currently getting them for my knee and did get them for my hip and had a left hip replacement

I am retired and 71 so no work just a lot of running. I have arthritis which is whatis giving me problems with my joints but surprisingly only on the left side. At 71 these things are to be expected but I really dont want to do a knee replacement.
