Because creatine uses the juice/sugar that it's mixed with as a delivery system (for a desired insulin spike), you'll probably not see much results from the creatine with a low-carb delivery source. Also, I would think your stomach might be a little confused with unused creatine sitting there, so I'm not sure what kind of gastrointestinal reaction might occur.
Secondarily, my recollection from years ago is that creatine *itself* causes an insulin spike (obviously not good here), but I cannot be sure if that's from the juice delivery system or the creatine mix itself.
