Ways Insulin is Put into the Body
Never taken by mouth because stomach acid deteriorates insulin.
Insulin shots, insulin pens, jet injectors, and insulin pumps.

Places to Insert Insulin
Abdomen, outer upper arms, thighs or hips.
Common because there is lots of blood and muscle, and glucose is in blood and muscle
