Creatine and Sugar

dahayz Posts: 794 Joined: 2002/05/08	2004/03/22, 01:20 PM The whole theory behind sugar and creatine is the insulin spike that it causes. This in turn "drives" the creatine into the muscle. I personally am a fan of this and have had nothing but outstanding success with this method, but it does not work for everyone. It is not completely necessary to take your creatine with a high glycemic carb, like sugar
