hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you
as you have knee pain and taking Cartigen, you can take this medicine for uptp the time the ortho advised you. also you are diabetic so this may lead to trouble on a longer run since too many medication is not good for kidneys.
also, undergoing physical therapy will be a good option for knee pain as along with Cartigen and exercise you should respond well & knee pain should reduce.
in my clinical practice a combination of medication with physical therapy words well
regards
