Type 2 Diabetes: Oral Medication Basics
The GoodRx Pharmacist - December 31, 2013
In a non-diabetic person, insulin is released from the pancreas with each meal and it helps the body either use or store the glucose it gets from the food. Patients who have type I diabetes don’t produce insulin, and must inject themselves with insulin to mimic the body’s natural process.
