Only in the presence of oxygen insulin get activated.
Oxygen is available in blood.
If we take it orally their is no enzyme to digest it.
Small intestine cannot absorb it to the blood as other nutrients
Moreover quick result comes when we inject insulin intravenously
Hence it is not given orally.

A Doctor advised a patient for an insulin injection as the patient suffered from Diabetes. Insulin is produced from pancreas, from a specialized cell called as beta cells in Islets of Langerhans. It plays key role in sugar metabolism. Thus, the patient who was advised to take insulin injections might be suffering from high blood sugar level.
