If their body become resistance to the insulin (their own), why they can accept the injected ones? are some of the components different compare to own insulin? I even heard some insulin injection called human insulin

It has nothing to do with the insulin being “accepted.” Their own naturally produced insulin still works, just not as well. So for example, they might need twice as much as normal, but their body is only producing a normal amount, so by injecting enough insulin to double when they currently are making, then they are now getting enough.

Essentially they need more insulin then most people, but their bodies only make the normal amount, so giving them some extra can help.
