Why Do Diabetics Inject Insulin Vs. Taking a Pill?
Diabetes is a serious medical condition in which the body fails to produce or use insulin appropriately. Insulin is needed to convert sugar and starches into energy. Without insulin a diabetic would not have energy for movement, growth and other bodily functions. Diabetics inject insulin so that it enters the bloodstream instantly to perform all of its useful functions. Insulin is generally taken by injection because if it was taken in the usual pill form, it would dissolve quickly through the digestive tract and fail to reach the bloodstream.
