Insulin for Bodybuilding? – Doctor’s Analysis of Side Effects & Properties

A physician’s analysis of insulin as used in bodybuilding and its side effects and properties. Insulin is a hormone and important medicine, but unlike steroids which have a variety of medical uses, insulin’s medical to a few circumstances. In type 2 diabetics it is a last resort when other interventions have failed. Therefore its use in bodybuilding is particularly concerning and comes with dangers both commonly known and rarely discussed. In my opinion its use as a PED is simply going too far. If you are considering taking Insulin as a PED or have taken it, please watch this video. If you know a medical professional who is unaware of this type of use, please share it with them!

I do NOT in any way support the use of any performance enhancing drugs – PEDs, anabolic steroid or other medicine for muscle building or body transformation. The “off-label” use of PEDs, as such agents is considered elicit and may lead to adverse health outcomes. Please consult an expert health professional regarding any medical agent and do NOT use any medicine without the explicit advice and supervision of an appropriate medical expert.
