what can I do to build up cartilage in my knee to stop the pain?

I used to have a problem with my kneecaps dislocating when I was a freshmen in high school. They do not dislocate anymore, but now my knees hurt because of the little cartilage that I have for cushion. I don't want medication, but I heard somewhere that there is a supplement that people can take to build up cartilage in the knees. Does anyone know? Or something else that I can do right now besides surgery and medication?
I've heard about glucosemine, but I also heard that is raises your blood sugar. Diabedies runs in the family, so I have to maentain a healthy low sugar diet.

The big one you hear about is Glucosamine With MSM.

I had ACL reconstruction about a 9 months ago. They also had to take out about 45% of the cartilage. Iv been taking Glucosamine for the entire time now and really haven't seen any major improvement. But, I was told to keep taking it and over time their would be results.

Check out your local GNC or on-line store. Their are so many different types. They may be some special name brand, but they all do the same thing
