Question

Name a hormone which is injected to a patient suffering from diabetes

Answer 1

Insulin injection is in a class of medications called hormones. Insulin injection is used to take the place of insulin that is normally produced by the body. It works by helping move sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is used for energy. It also stops the liver from producing more sugar.

Answer 2

♤ 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.

♤ Such cases of diabetes are called Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus ( IDDM ).
