Creatine supplementation has shown potential in managing blood sugar levels by increasing the body's ability to utilize glucose as metabolic fuel. This is particularly beneficial for diabetic individuals. Studies have shown creatine supplementation alongside moderate exercise improves oral glucose tolerance test results, indicating creatine's potential benefit in blood sugar regulation. | Creatine supplementation has shown potential in managing blood sugar levels by increasing the body's ability to utilize glucose as metabolic fuel.

Creatine, known for boosting cellular energy, has sparked interest for its potential use during pregnancy to aid neural development and lessen complications from birth asphyxia. The fetus depends on the mother for creatine until late pregnancy, making creatine crucial during this period. Animal studies show that maternal creatine supplementation could enhance neonatal survival and organ function post birth asphyxia. While creatine needs do increase in pregnant women, the research on creatine supplementation during pregnancy in humans is still limited. Though creatine has been found safe in many groups, its safety and effectiveness during pregnancy need more investigation. Hence, while creatine might support the nutritional needs and health of both mother and child, recommending its use during pregnancy should be done with caution due to the limited human studies. {{#pmid:33572884|pmid33572884}} | |||
