No, there is not. You have to give yourself an insulin shot.

A diabetes meter is a meter that measures your blood glucose level to determine if it is high or low. You are then able to determine if you need to give yourself a shot of insulin or not.
When you are diabetic and on insulin what can you do to bring down you glucose level aside from giving yourself an insulin shot?
No you cant. Doctors are currently trying to find a way but the shot has been around since the early 1920's.

Indtradermal? Subq? Or intramuscular shot?
Your dog is diabetic and ate some fudge should you give her her insulin shot?
Fudge by and large is generally toxic to dogs. Insulin may be the least of your worries.
If you inject a diabetic shot by mistake would you be diabetic?
You do not become diabetic by injecting yourself with insulin; your body naturally produces insulin. You become diabetic when your pancreas stops working well (or stops working at all.) However, you could lapse into a coma and die if there is too much insulin in your body. Do NOT inject insulin into yourself or anyone else unless told by a doctor to do so.

Why do you have to use insulin when you have diabetes?
Everyone has insulin and the pancreas makes it. When your body doesn't make insulin that is diabetes. Insulin is the liquid the pancreas makes so that you can break down nutritious food into energy. So with diabetes you have to get the insulin with a shot in the arm, leg, butt, or stomach.
Inebriated in a sentence?
People thought Mary was inebriated but actually she was in need of her insulin shot.
Can you give your dog her insulin shot in a different place?
Yes, you should be varying the exact location of your do'gs insulin shot regularly to reduce the amount of scar tissue build-up in one area. If you give a morning injection under the skin of the top of the left shoulder in the morning, I would suggest using the top of the right shoulder in the evening. You also have some ability to shift towards the head a bit or towards the tail a bit with the shot, depending upon how big your dog is. The next time you take your dog to your veterinarian, ask him/her to show you the area in which you can safely give insulin shots under the skin and ask about rotating the location to reduce inflammation. Your veterinarian will be more than happy to show this to you and discuss your specific concerns.
