Why do diabetics have to inject insulin instead of just drinking it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If we swallowed insulin the digestive enzymes in our stomach would break it down before reaching our bloodstream. Therefore, at this time, all insulin must be injected into our body.

View allI've been on progesterone from day 21 after my IUI, and I'm having belly cramps, so my doc gave me Drotin for the pain. I don't feel any pregnancy symptoms yet like discharge or sore breasts. Is this normal? When do pregnancy symptoms usually start? How can I tell if the IUI was successful?
It is normal not to experience pregnancy symptoms immediately after an IUI procedure. Pregnancy symptoms typically start appearing around 4-6 weeks after conception. To know if your IUI was successful, you will need to wait for a missed period and then take a pregnancy test. If the test is positive, it indicates a successful IUI. In the meantime, continue with your progesterone support as prescribed.

I'm looking for a doctor who can help me with the complications I've been facing due to using anabolic steroids. I also need guidance on how to manage things during and after my steroid cycles. Can someone with experience in these areas provide some advice? I'm really quite concerned about this and just want to make sure I'm handling everything properly.
Find a Specialist: You can search for these specialists through referrals, health networks, or direct consultations at your local hospital or private clinics. Test Your Health: Make sure you get baseline tests done before starting or after finishing a cycle, such as hormone panels, liver and kidney function tests, and cardiovascular screenings. Regular Follow-Ups: If you have already been on steroids for some time, regular follow-ups with these specialists are critical to prevent long-term complications.
