[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1675048, member: 429870"] Reading the full test of this article in PubMed, I came across another: [SIZE=6][B]"Creatine supplementation and glycemic control: a systematic review.[/B][/SIZE] [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Pinto%20CL%5BAuthor%5D&cauthor=true&cauthor_uid=27306768']Pinto CL[/URL]1, [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Botelho%20PB%5BAuthor%5D&cauthor=true&cauthor_uid=27306768']Botelho PB[/URL]1, [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Pimentel%20GD%5BAuthor%5D&cauthor=true&cauthor_uid=27306768']Pimentel GD[/URL]1, [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Campos-Ferraz%20PL%5BAuthor%5D&cauthor=true&cauthor_uid=27306768']Campos-Ferraz PL[/URL]2,3, [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Mota%20JF%5BAuthor%5D&cauthor=true&cauthor_uid=27306768']Mota JF[/URL]4.

So, if I have understood correctly, creatine probably won't help to lower your bg if you don't also exercise. Creatine may help to lower your bg if you do exercise, but it's not guaranteed. And maybe we can add, from the study quoted above, exercise without creatine likely won't lower bg as much as exercise with. But that's only one study of 25 subjects, as against a meta analysis of many studies. [/QUOTE]
