Insulin
.Types of Insulin For Diabetics

Insulin And Diabetes
Insulin is one of the most popular drugs used in the treatment of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetics. In fact, insulin is a hormone that should be produced naturally by your body. However, if you have Type 1 Diabetes, then your body either does not produce insulin. If you have Type 2 Diabetes your body does not make enough or cannot properly use the insulin that it makes. Learning how insulin works is an important part of understanding how diabetes works.

Disposable Insulin Nanopump
Skin patch delivers insulin through a minaturized pumpInsulin pump therapy, or Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII), is an increasingly attractive alternative to individual insulin injections that must be administered several times a day.
