My grandson uses both for body building but he is not diabetic. I have taken lcaa has done me no harm so far.
Creatine is OK to take but you need to drink a lot of water when taking it and also be careful as it can lower blood sugar somewhat.
So you need to test.

Thanks John that's been a great help. I test quite a lot so should be ok with that. Just need to drink more water though.
