Insulin controls the amount of sugar in your blood by regulating the conversion of glucose into energy, or storage in the liver for further use.

When we eat food, our body takes glucose from food, which leads to a rise in blood sugar levels. This leads to the release of insulin in healthy individuals, which signals your cells to absorb glucose and use it as energy, which in turn reduces your blood sugar level.

People suffering from type 1 or type 2 diabetes need to take insulin injection to facilitate this process. Nearly 24 per cent people suffering from diabetes take insulin.

There are several types of insulin that a person can take but it depends on how well everyone's body utilizes it and what is the type of diet they follow.

People who are resistant to insulin or consume too many carbohydrates, need to take higher doses of insulin.
