Solution

Insulin and its importance:

  1. Insulin is secreted by the pancreas, which helps the sugar enter the body's cells to derive energy.
  2. People suffering from diabetes either have less insulin secretion or their bodies cannot use insulin properly.
  3. Generally, people with diabetes are given oral medications. Still, when the body of the individual does not show any positive results or these medicines are proven ineffective, patients are treated with injections of insulin directly injected into the blood vessels for more effectiveness.
