Question

(a) Diabetes can be treated by injection of insulin. Insulin can now also be taken by
breathing it in. Suggest how insulin taken by breathing it in enters the blood.

Answer 1

Answer:

With an inhaler much like the ones people with asthma use, you breathe a fine insulin powder into your lungs. There, it enters your blood through tiny blood vessels.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Inhaled insulin is delivered to the body with an inhaler device instead of an insulin pen or syringes & vials that patients are used to with traditional insulin. This means it is possible to use insulin to control the blood sugar spikes with all of your meals, but without adding more injections. Now that's pretty cool!
