Human insulin has been manufactured since 1982.
"Human insulin is now manufactured for widespread clinical use using genetic engineering techniques, which significantly reduces impurity reaction problems. Eli Lilly marketed the first such insulin, Humulin, in 1982. Humulin was the first medication produced using modern genetic engineering techniques, in which actual human DNA is inserted into a host cell (E. coli in this case). The host cells are then allowed to grow and reproduce normally, and due to the inserted human DNA, they produce actual human insulin."

Diabetes slowly becoming the biggest growing disease in UK with the obesity surge. Hope they find a cure for diabetes and obesity. Education and discipline for a start would help obesity says the fat man on this computer.

Drugs are constantly improving in quality and efficiency. Consequently the cost of medicines also increases. More and more bacteria are becoming drug resistant to new medicines also. But majority of population particularly in third world countries find it difficult to purchase medicines at exhorbitant costs. Some people dream of good old days.
