ONLY REGULAR insulin can be given IV.

Why insulin is taken intravenously?

Insulin is a hormone, and as such is therefore a protein. If we ate/drank it, upon reaching the stomach, it would be broken down by pepsin and also the tertiary structure would be denatured by the Hydrochloric Acid. Therefore we have to take it intravenously so it can travel directly through the blood stream, and reach its taken organ, usually the liver for glycogenesis.
