Creatine again/insulin concern--comments Andy et al?

[Guest guest]

Has anyone experienced any leg pain using this? Also, has anyone avoided

creatine because a child may possibly be close to being insulin resistent?

These were off of Medline Plus:

" In theory, creatine may alter the activities of insulin. Caution is advised

in patients with diabetes or hypoglycemia, and in those taking drugs, herbs,

or supplements that affect blood sugar. Serum glucose levels may need to be

monitored by a healthcare professional, and medication adjustments may be

necessary. "

Also--these scary issues:

unwanted side-eff

So of course I'm assuming my leg pain indicates prediabetes, compartment

syndrome of the lower leg requiring inquiry into immediate surgery, and that I

am further emitting formaldehyde which will hopefully at least keep me

well-preserved.

Or I could just be out of shape and desperately in need of regular exercise.

Would appreciate dispelling of all paranoid thoughts.

Thanks,
