In patients with Diabetes, whose endogenous production of insulin is completely or near to nothing, insulin is administered to them subcutaneously.
The insulin is usually bovine insulin or pork insulin. Recently, human insulins have been manufactured by rDNA technology. These preparations are called exogenous insulins.

I like butter toast
Why Metaformin tablets as well as Insulin injections?
I am a future pharmacy student, so ATM my knowledge is quite limited. However, if i had to guess i would guess the reasoning behind taking metaformin WITH insulin is because the use of exogenous insulin causes your body's insulin receptors to downregulate. Metaformin, on the other hand, causes these same receptors to upregulate. Doing this will prevent you from becoming insulin resistance and possibly requiring more insulin eventually for the same effects. Also do not think metaformin is just an oral insulin, IT IS NOT!. They both lower blood sugar levels, but in different mays. Do not get them confused!!! I hope i helped :)
What is exogenous activity?
Exogenous behavior is the behavior that is derived externally and outside the body. Exogenous behavior can also be in reference to outside sources that effect us, such as temperature and sunlight.
How can diabetics increase their insulin levels?
Insulin levels can be increased by taking exogenous insulin as a medication injected under the skin and absorbed into the bloodstream. Insulin deficiency usually occurs in Type 1 (juvenile) diabetes that starts at a young age (children, teens, young adults). Type 2 diabetics (onset in adulthood) usually have high insulin levels, but the insulin does not work effectively to get sugar to move from the blood into the cells. These people need to increase the effectiveness of the insulin they produce at the cell level, and there are medications (oral) that can help with this. The overall need for insulin can be reduced by reducing sugars in the diet and reducing one's body weight. Exercise helps insulin be utilized more effectively as well.
When b cells secrete antibodies does it fight against endogenous or exogenous pathogens?
exogenous pathogens.
What do exogenous sources of infection include?
Exogenous infection is a bacterial infection that develops from the outside of the body. Exogenous bacteria are foodborne and waterborne which can be consumed directly or through secondary host.
What is exogenous virus?
I believe, exogenous virus exist as: "replication competent viruses that are transmitted horizontally in mice, while endogenous viruses exist as germline sequences that are usually not replication competent by may recombine with exogenous viruses during the course of infection." This would refer to exogenous retroviruses.
Can neurotransmitter be exogenous?
yes
Define and differentiate between endogenous and exogenous variables?
The endogenous variables value is established by the conditions of the other variables in the structure. The exogenous variables value in independent of the conditions of the other variables in the structure. The difference between the endogenous and exogenous variables is the endogenous depends solely on the structure and the exogenous depend on outside elements.
Is endotoxin an exogenous pyrogen?

What is ARX model?
