Because type 2 diabetics have a different problem from type 1 diabetics.

in type 2, your pancreas is producing a mutated version of insulin, and this can be fixed through certain drugs needing to be taken in the form of a pill.

in type one, you don't produce any insulin and you have to inject the insulin in to your body to cover the deficiency. there are alternatives, however, thy make a automated pump you can use, and there is a inhalable version as well.

Why is insulin injected?

Insulin is normally made by the beta cells in the pancreas. If the body is short on insulin, it must be injected to keep levels up, hour by hour. It cannot be taken in pills as the molecule is too fragile to survive digestion. Normally, insulin is produced by the body to regulate blood sugar level. For diabetics, however, the beta cells become dysfunctional and are either destroyed or do not make enough insulin, or the other cells in the body resist insulin and require more of it. As a result, people who are diabetic must inject insulin to maintain their blood sugar level, hour by hour. Because of this, people who are diabetic tend to have a blood with higher level of sugar, or to be unable to lower the sudden rises of blood sugar that occur after eating.

Why do diabetics receive insulin subcutaneously by infection rather than orally?

[Because it gets in your system faster than having to take a pill and wait for the pill to dissolve.] Although this is probably also true, I think the main reason is that insulin is a protein molecule, which mean if you took it in pill-form your digestive system would break it down before it had a chance to be absorbed and get to work.
