Lower Blood Sugar Levels
According to studies, creatine supplements can decrease blood sugar levels. This is because the substance promotes glucose transporter type 4’s (GLUT-4) function, a known molecule responsible for bringing blood sugar into the muscles. In one research conducted for 12 weeks, the effects of creatine on blood sugar were examined after consuming high-protein meat.
The study’s objective is to analyze how creatine supplements and aerobic training impact the glucose tolerance of sedentary healthy men. The participants were divided into two groups: the control group and the subject group. The findings saw enhanced blood sugar levels in those who took creatine and went a training than those who only did the training.
The research concluded that creatine supplements combined with exercise could improve glucose tolerance. However, insulin sensitivity was not impacted, and further studies are needed to determine if the result will be the same in diabetic subjects.
