Bpc 157 Diabetes – Uses, Side Effects & More

Headmaster Kamat has enjoyed a proud and illustrious career at many schools but the thorn in his side – almost literally as he has had to take insulin injections sometimes – is his diabetes. He has tried a host of medications that work during the months when he is active amidst sports day practice and annual drama rehearsals. His blood sugar is also often under control during the summer vacations when he eats his meals at consistent timings and exercises regularly. However, in months when he is buried in paperwork, his blood sugar levels often spike. 

He has just heard about a drug that he has not tried from a very unlikely source. The school physical education teacher. Headmaster Kamat’s very fit and buff PE teacher, Milind Sir tells him that he and his fellow bodybuilders are trying a new supplement called BPC 157 that helps heal wounds quickly and also promotes muscle health and healing. Apparently, BPC 157 is being borrowed from diabetes medication. That’s what it was initially developed for. 

Headmaster Kamat is confused at first. BPC 157 for diabetes control and for building muscle? But he isn’t headmaster for no reason. He quickly deduces that diabetes results in poor absorption of glucose by one’s muscles resulting in fatigue. In other words, the muscles are underfed and unhealthy, or at least that’s how he would explain it to his students. BPC 157 for diabetes control could certainly help things by promoting muscle health. Moreover, slow healing of wounds on account of nerve end damage occurring from high levels of glucose in the blood is another complication arising from diabetes and therefore  BPC 157 use in diabetes could help with this issue linked to diabetes. 

What headmaster Kamat wants to know is whether BPC 157 for diabetes is able to achieve: a softer blow from the complications linked to diabetes or an improvement in the diabetes prognosis? Does BPC 157 for diabetes lower blood sugar levels? He’s got a whole question paper ready about BPC 157 and diabetes for anyone who might have the answers. 

Let’s find out about the background, various uses, and side effects of BPC 157 for diabetes 

Background of BPC 157

What Is It?

BPC 157 is a peptide and the C-peptide is a substance that is created when insulin is secreted by the body for the breakdown of glucose and its absorption by muscles and organs. A peptide may be called a piece of protein. BPC itself is produced in the stomach and BPC 15 is the synthesized version of BPC.

What Are Its Ingredients?

This substance is not naturally occurring and has to be produced in a lab. It is made up of 15 amino acids found in human gastric juice. 

Is it an approved medication?

This pentadecapeptide is retailed as a supplement rather than as a  There are a lot of forums trying to figure out why no pharma company has picked up a patent for BPC 157 and there are many theories. One of the most plausible ones is: BPC 157 is available in such large quantities and at such low prices on the open market. For a pharma company to get the requisite approvals from government bodies and then patent a drug where BPC 157 is the active ingredient might not make sense when it is already available so easily. 

So no, BPC 157 is not a government-approved medication but is legally available as a supplement. You should definitely talk to your doctor before adopting BPC 157 for diabetes control, or you should at least make sure that you are monitoring your blood sugar and overall health for any negative effects.

How is  BPC 157 administered/ taken?

This supplement may be ingested orally or may be injected.

10 Rare BPC 157 Side Effects

Most people who have tried BPC 157 in pursuit of the various benefits described above have not reported any negative side effects.

However, it is important to note that BPC 157 has not been clinically tested on humans for diabetes or blood pressure, or anything else. It has been tested on rats and the positive effects advertised come from those studies. It has also been around for only about 30 years, having been discovered in the 1990s. It has no side-effects but there are some very common side effects a person can face are-

1. Vomiting
2. Nausea
3. Tiredness
4. Fatigue
5. Bloating
6. Diarrhea
7. Headache
8. Blood pressure problems
9. Hot and cold flashes

Conclusion

If your doctor says it, you could probably consider trying BPC 157 for diabetes control and reversal of high blood sugar levels. However, do keep an eye out for any BPC 157 side effects and do not assume that the drug will work like magic or as a miracle. Keep up a healthy diet and regular exercise in order to keep blood sugar levels in check.
