본문내용

Insulin is the most effective means of lowering blood glucose, allowing the body to maintain glucose within a normal range. In people with diabetes, there is either a complete absence of this naturally occurring hormone (type 1 diabetes) or there is an issue with diminished insulin secretion and/or insulin resistance (type 2 diabetes). The treatment of gestational diabetes may also include insulin therapy as oral agents are generally not approved for use in pregnancy. Exogenous insulin improves the body's ability to metabolize carbohydrate, store glucose in the liver, and convert glycogen to fat storage (Lilley et al., 2014). This article will review the various available insulin products and their use in the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

Commercially produced insulin was not available in the United States until 1923 when short-acting regular insulin required multiple injections a day (White, 2014).
