उत्तर
Insulin is injected rather than taken orally because it is a protein hormone. If taken by mouth, it would be digested and broken down by digestive enzymes in the stomach and small intestine before it could reach the bloodstream to perform its function. Therefore, injection is necessary to deliver the hormone directly into the body so it can effectively regulate blood glucose levels.
