Insulin injections are given to individuals suffering from type 1 or type 2 diabetes. It is used when oral medication becomes ineffective. Insulin injections work by helping to move sugar from the blood into the body's cells. Moreover, it also inhibits the liver from producing more sugar.

➜ The insulin hormone controls the metabolism of sugar. When pancreas does not produce or secrete sufficient amount of insulin into blood, then the sugar level in the blood rises. Therefore, the patient excreates sugar (glucose) in urine, feels excessive thirst and also urinates excessively. The people having severe diabetes are treated by giving injections of insulin.
