What you'll learn

Insulin has added more years to life than any other medical intervention and is nearly completing 100 years of its discovery. It is the first drug to be produced by recombinant DNA technique, the first prototype being the exact copy of native Insulin. Over years, we have modified our Insulin to match its pharmacokinetics to our body’s needs. The ability to check sugar instantly and easily by glucometers have revolutionized sugar management. Insulin is probably the only injection that is so widely used by self and one molecule which is used ubiquitously.
