Does Hyaluronic Acid Affect Blood Sugar Levels?

Thanks for writing to us.
Hyaluronic acid supplements are dietary supplements promoted for arthritis and many other conditions including skin health.Hyaluronic acid is a component of synovial fluid, and is found in the vitreous humor of the eye, the synovia of joints, and in subcutaneous tissue where it functions is as a cementing agent. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous properties.
These supplements do not affect blood glucose levels in any way. Having a higher fasting blood glucose levels means you are predisposed to diabetes. You need to have a glucose tolerance test for an early diagnosis and treatment. Having a high cholesterol and hypertension brings you in a high risk category of contacting a cardiac problem.
I hope my answer and recommendations are adequate and helpful. Waiting for your further follow up queries if any.
Regards.
