Not 100% sure, but i think creatine is bad if your have type 1.

yes you can, im type one as well and have good muscle for my experience and age. i make gains in strength and size just as well as everybody else. make sure your blood sugars arent too high or you wont gain any muscle and look like ****. and yes, dont take creatine, ruins your kidneys.

However i do believe that Dominick Cardone isn't Diabetic, but his friend is who he supports. Either way that guy is a truck

Not sure why everyone speaks so bad of Creatine, i asked my consultant about creatine before i started taking it, she said i was fine to do so providing i dont take more than whats reccomended.

My brother is type 1 and he grows up much faster than his friends that go to the gym with him I'm sure that the insulin help a lot
