Human Insulin (recombinant DNA technology)

Human insulin produced through recombinant DNA technology is a form of insulin created by combining human genetic material with bacteria or yeast. Scientists insert the gene responsible for producing insulin into these microorganisms, which then act as tiny factories to produce large quantities of insulin identical to what the human body naturally makes. This process provides a safe, reliable, and pure source of insulin for people with diabetes, replacing earlier methods that used animal insulin. It helps regulate blood sugar levels effectively and has improved diabetes management significantly.
