Insulin can be administered orally to treat hyperglycemia
Answers
Insulin, given either intravenously or subcutaneously, is the preferred regimen for effectively treating hyperglycemia in the hospital.
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.
♤ Insulin plays an important role in sugar metabolism. In some patients of diabetes , insulin secretion is reduced.
♤ Insulin injection is given to such patients to compensate for reduced insulin secretion in the body and to regulate insulin in their body which causes diabetes when the level is fluctuated
♤ Such cases of diabetes are called Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus ( IDDM ).
