Answer 2

pumps (attached to you all the time and continuously drips insulin in to you, but expensive so not available to everyone), injections (pens or syringes), needleless injection devices (like hyposprays on star trek but v brutal and give a big bruse!), inhalers (but these are hudge to carry around and dangerous!) - there are many different kinds of insulin and insulin regimes that you can use with the different devices.

Answer 3

Currently 95% of insulin is given by sub-cutaneous injection. A little is given IV in hospital. There is now an inhaled insulin on the market, it is however currently rarely used in UK so far as it is not yet considered cost effective.

Unfortunately it cannot be given by mouth, since it is a protein it is simply digested if swallowed and has no therapeutic effect when taken that way.

Answer 4

right now the only way to take insulin is by injection. They are working on an inhalation method, but it has not yet been released by the FDA.

Answer 5

As far as I know, there's about four different ways to control diabetes. First is diet alone. If that doesn't bring you inline as far as I know, all other treatments include diet along with the treatment.

There are some form of pills that have been used to control this disese, insulin injections, insulin pump incerted under the skin.

I haven't heard much on this last one but it'd have a supply of insulin and inject it as required.

Answer 6

only injections
