As there are two types of diabetes mellitus- Type I, the body's inability to produce insulin, & Type II, the body's resistance to insulin produced. In the case of Type I, injectable insulin is the only known treatment. For Type II, oral medications can be used on their own, in combination with other oral meds, or in combination with injectable insulin.
Does Medicare pay for insulin shots.
You can, but it won't do anything for you; otherwise, people wouldn't be giving themselves shots, they would be taking shots. The pH of you stomach denatures the proteins of insulin, rendering it useless.
Lol I've never heard of that being done, insulin shots can be administered from the butt cheeks
Your body uses insulin properly convert and carry energy derived from food to the cells in your body. There are two types of diabetes. In people with type one diabetes, the body does not produce insulin and therefore need to have insulin injested via shots. In type two diabetes, your body is not using insulin properly or does not create enough insulin. Typically type two diabetes canb be controlled with medication or via controlling your diet.
Pills are for Type 2 diabetics. Type 1 diabetics use shots or an insulin pump.
Ask your doctor.
It depends on how harsh of the disease you have. My grandfather had to take insulin everyday because he had it. <><><> I have diabetes- and do not need shots (injected insulin). I watch what I eat, and take a medicine in pill form. Other people will need injected insulin. As said, depends on the course of the ailment that you have.
not all take shots ok and it is the only way
type 1 diabetes is insulin dependent and type 2 diabetes is insulin independant. basically meanind type 1 is more serious it can cause death if not treated properly. Type 2 is not insulin dependent unless the person does not exercise enough and eat right, then some Type 2 Diabetic can become insulin dependent.
There are two types of diabetes; type 1 and type 2. Type one also known as juvenile diabetes most commonly occurs during childhood or teens. It is an auto immune disease which is not preventable. The immune system attacks all the insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas thus the pancreas can no longer produce insulin. Without insulin the blood sugar reaches dangerously high levels. There are many theories as to the cause but nothing conclusive. Type 1 diabetic all need insulin shots or pump. Type 2 diabetes usually occurs in adulthood and can be prevented. The main risk factors are obesity and a poor diet and old age. This type is where the body develops a resistance to the naturally produced insulin or the body doesn't produce enough. Many type 2 diabetics do not require insulin shots while others use tablets to control it. Hope that helped you!
Yes, but you will require Insulin shots for the rest of your life, along with careful diet monitoring.
