Insulin Injection
Insulin Injection Sites: Where and How to Inject
Insulin is a hormone that helps cells use glucose (sugar) for energy. It works as a “key,” allowing the sugar to go from the blood and into the cell. In type 1 diapetes, the body doesn’t make insulin. In type 2 diabetes, the body doesn’t use insulin correctly, which can lead to the pancreas not being able to produce enough — or any, depending on the progression of the disease —insulin to meet your body’s needs.
There are different ways to take insulin, including syringes, insulin pens, insulin pumps, and jet injectors.
