Why do diabetics have to inject insulin instead of just drinking it?

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.

I'm really struggling because I had my tubes tied 8 years ago, and now I can't afford IVF or anything like that. I'm just wondering if there are any over-the-counter hormone pills that could help me get pregnant. Any advice would be appreciated.
