About Insulin
Insulin is a life-saving hormone that is essential for the management of diabetes mellitus. Naturally produced by the beta cells of the pancreas, insulin regulates blood sugar by allowing glucose to enter the body's cells for energy. In people with type 1 diabetes, the pancreas produces little or no insulin at all, making daily insulin injections absolutely essential for survival. In type 2 diabetes, the body may still produce some insulin but not enough, or the body may not respond to it properly (insulin resistance). When oral diabetes medications such as Metformin and Glibenclamide are no longer sufficient to control blood sugar in type 2 diabetes, insulin injections become necessary. Insulin is also the treatment of choice for gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy) and for diabetic emergencies such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
