The endocrine system secretes hormones that send chemical signals to certain or all body cells and cause chemical changes and the cells react to it. The hormones are transported via the circulatory system.
Insulin is a protein secreted in pancreas.
Your Pancreas makes insulin to maintain your sugar levels. People with Type 1 diabetes' pancreases don't make insulin and must have injections. Type 2 diabetes people's pancreases don't make enough insulin to control sugar intake or keep up with the size of the body.
When a cell has too little insulin, it can lead to high blood sugar levels because insulin helps cells absorb glucose from the bloodstream. This can result in symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and weight loss. Over time, consistently high blood sugar levels can damage organs and lead to complications like nerve damage, cardiovascular disease, and kidney problems.
Pig insulin is used as a substitute for human insulin in some cases because it is similar in structure and function to human insulin, making it effective in managing diabetes. Additionally, using pig insulin can be more cost-effective and readily available for some patients compared to human insulin.
Injecting insulin that has been at room temperature for more than 6 hours may reduce its effectiveness, as insulin can degrade when exposed to heat and light. While it may still work for some time, its potency could be compromised, potentially leading to inadequate blood sugar control. It's generally recommended to store insulin in the refrigerator and only keep it at room temperature for a limited time, typically up to 28 days, depending on the type of insulin. Always consult with a healthcare professional for guidance on insulin storage and usage.

Insulin is usually made in your body automatically; diabetes is when your body does not make enough insulin. So some people with diabetes have to take insulin to control their blood sugar.
IDDM: Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus.
To control the blood/glucose levels.

Insulin is a protein secreted in pancreas.
With a Medtronic insulin pump, one can inject insulin into their body to help them maintain a steady blood glucose level and keep their diabetes under control.
ONLY REGULAR insulin can be given IV.Rapid-insulin analogs (insulin aspart, insulin lispro and insulin glulisine) may also be administered intravenously for glycemic control in selected clinical situations under appropriate medical supervision.
