I am assuming that the results posted by you are of your synovial fluid analysis ( the fluid inside your joint cavity). With this level of protein and glucose, along with your pre existing diabetes , is suggestive of an infection in your knee joint. However, I would like to know if you have any fever , rise of temperature localised around your knee, and how intense is the pain associated with movements of your knee?
Health Tips
Kindly follow up the culture report of this fluid . also antibiotics need to be started as prophylaxis/treatment right away.
