Hormones need to be injected to bypass the digestive tract for faster and more complete uptake. Steroid make your connective tissue brittle, and interfere with normal sexual homones. Males testes shrink, women's clitoris grows like a penis. 'Roid rage. Hypoparathyroidism - calcium deposits in soft tissue, and calcium incorporated in arterial plaque.

Type I diabetes: you pancreas does not produce any insulin at all. You must have daily injections. This occurs mainly in young persons, and doctors are not exactly sure why. It may be due to an autoimmune problem where the immune system attacks and destroys the beta cells (insulin producing cells) of the body. It also may be due to some type of viral infection. Type II: Your pancreas produces insulin, but it either does not produce enough insulin, or it produces adequate to excessive amounts of insulin but your peripheral tissues have built up a resistance to it and don't use it properly. This type of diabetes is common in older people and obese people. Eventually, the beta cells in the pancreas wear out from overuse and can lead essentialy to a type I situation.
