Why Do Diabetic Patients Need Insulin?
Insulin is a hormone that is produced from the pancreas, a gland in the stomach. When we eat, glucose is absorbed from the stomach and enters in the blood. The glucose must enter into the cells to make energy and Insulin helps glucose to enter the cells. In people with type 1 Diabetes, pancreas does not produce Insulin and in type 2 Diabetes Insulin does not work efficiently as it normally should and also the amount of Insulin comes out of the pancreas is less.
How
do
we
get
Insulin?
Once
upon
a
time,
we
used
to
get
Insulin
from
slaughterhouse,
i.e.,
from
pancreas
of
dead
animals.
Now
we
are
preparing
Insulin
in
the
laboratory
by
sophisticated
technologies
(DNA
recombinant)
and
no
way
they
are
connected
to
animals
or
human.
The
names
are
animal
or
human
because
by
structure
they
are
same
as
of
beef
(bovine),
pork
(porcine)
and
man
(human)
Insulin.
So
the
chance
of
contaminating
any
infectious
disease
by
Insulin
does
not
arise.
Who
with
Diabetes
needs
Insulin?
In
type
1
Diabetes
Insulin
is
a
must
for
living.
In
type
2
Diabetes
we
advice
Insulin
in
certain
situations
like
pregnancy,
during
and
after
surgery,
severe
infection
and
for
some
reason
or
other
when
you
are
not
able
to
eat.
Obviously,
when
tablets
do
not
work,
you
need
Insulin
for
better
Diabetes
control.
Is
Insulin
better
than
tablet
for
people
with
type
2
Diabetes?
Now,
this
is
a
very
interesting
question.
There
are
several
advantages
of
Insulin.
Insulin
is
the
most
natural
thing
that
you
can
have.
In
that
way
tablets
are
not
natural.
Recent
research
indicates
that
Insulin
from
the
beginning
or
at
least
for
some
time
at
the
beginning
not
only
helps
in
controlling
Diabetes
better
but
also
maintain
pancreatic
function
in
the
long
run.
Only
problem
is
that
till
today
we
need
to
take
Insulin
only
by
injection.
Obviously a time would come in type 2 diabetes when tablets will not work, and you need to take Insulin.
