Default NooB Creatine questions

Ok, I read the Creatine FAQ..

Still have some questions (please don't bite my head off.. LOL)

I'm trying to follow the 40-30-30 "diet", which recommends staying away from high glycemic index foods, so that your insulin doesn't spike, which in turn causes your body to metabolize energy from what you eat, rather than from your own fat stores..

Or that if you DO eat something up there on the gycemic index, like a banana, make sure you eat alot of protein along with it (like whey protein) to balance it out..

Now, this may be a bunch of hooey, but let's just say it's true..

I'm reading that you have to eat Creatine with a high glycemic food, like orange juice, and that after a work-out you should eat the same..

Is this strictly neccesary?

Is Creatine incompatible with a 40-30-30 "diet"? (not a "diet", just what you eat)..

I workout every other day..

Do I have to work-out EVERY day to get the most out of Creatine supplementation?

Thanks!
