Diabetic patients cannot stop injecting insulin. Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects blood glucose levels and consequently impacts overall health. Diabetic patients' bodies are unable to produce insulin on their own, so they must inject insulin daily to control their blood sugar levels. If diabetic patients stop taking insulin, it may lead to serious consequences, including cerebral ischemia, kidney failure, and heart attacks.
