Hi
Is anyone aware of any authoritative sources on the safety of creatine monohydrate (or other types) in type 1 diabetics? I have done some searching online and come up with very little more than anecdotal stories. I've seen some sources that say it simply hasn't been studied.
On a similar note, has anyone ever asked their doctor about this and got a view that way? I intend to but my next review is not until April next year. I've seen a suggestion that creatine supplementation will affect blood/urine results - does anyone has any experience of that?
Many thanks
Edit: I have read studies regarding type 2 diabetics (i.e. https://www.researchgate.net/public...e-blind_placebo-controlled_clinical_trial#pf8) and, provided tight control of glucose levels, I don't see why the results would be different for type 1s. Saying that, I am not a medical practitioner, which is why I ask if anyone has any practical experience of this with their doctors.
