Insulin

Insulin is a vital hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate blood sugar levels by allowing glucose to enter cells for energy. For individuals with diabetes, especially Type 1 and some with Type 2, the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or cannot use it effectively, requiring insulin therapy to maintain healthy blood glucose levels. Insulin is administered through injections, insulin pens, or pumps in various formulations that differ in onset, peak, and duration to suit individual needs.
