Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of insulin in the human body: Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood glucose levels. It helps cells absorb glucose from the bloodstream to be used for energy or stored for future use.
Identify the disease associated with insulin deficiency or resistance: Diabetes mellitus is a condition where the body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces, leading to elevated blood glucose levels.
Recognize the symptoms and complications of diabetes mellitus: Symptoms include frequent urination, excessive thirst, and unexplained weight loss. Long-term complications can affect the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and cardiovascular system.
Explore the treatment options for diabetes mellitus: Treatment often involves lifestyle changes, monitoring blood glucose levels, and administering insulin to manage blood sugar levels effectively.
Understand the significance of genetically engineered human insulin: This form of insulin is produced using recombinant DNA technology, providing a reliable and consistent source of insulin for individuals with diabetes mellitus, improving their quality of life and health outcomes.
