There are different types of insulin with different release profiles. Fast acting insulin is typically taken at meal times to counteract blood sugar spikes from the meal. Slow acting insulin (basal) is used to maintain the blood sugars though out the day.
Short answer is for better blood sugar control.

∙ 8y agoType I diabetics need to inject insulin because their pancreas does not produce insulin, as it does in healthy people.
Type II diabetics usually do not inject insulin because their pancreas produces insulin normally, it just does not get used the way it usually does. They usually take pills to improve the usage of the insulin they already have.

How the assimilation of glucose by a non diabetic person differs from that of a person suffering from diabetes?
It's important to note that there are two types of diabetic people, literally called Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetics do not produce insulin, while Type 2 diabetics are resistant to insulin. While the reason for it is different, the commonality is that diabetic people effectively lack the insulin that normal people use to regulate their blood sugar levels. For a non-diabetic person, when their blood sugar rises their pancreas secretes insulin to help break down the glucose, and when their blood sugar is low their production of insulin slows. For a diabetic person, this system is malfunctioning, which causes them to either not produce enough insulin or not properly utilize what they have.
