Many diabetics are now using insulin that was made by certain bacteria The ability of these bacteria to produce insulin was most likely the result of?
Inserting a portion of human DNA into the ring shaped DNA of bacteria
What type of bacteria is in insulin?
Well, the insulin a diabetic gets does not contain any bacteria. It is sterile. However, the insulin is made by bacteria, usually E. coli. Hope this helps! Some Stuff about the E.Coli Bacteria: • • The Bacteria E.coli used to produce insulin for those with diabetes • It's Inexpensive - compared with 1980 methods(extracting insulin from pigs etc.) • Large quantities of the modified bacteria are killed and insulin is extracted and purified. •The Bacteria E.coli used to produce insulin for those with diabetes
Can insulin kill bacteria?
No
What is the process of making human insulin with bacteria?
Human insulin is made with bacteria through recombinant DNA. It introduces a copy of human insulin DNA to a host cell, which then produces human insulin.
Is insulin a fungi bacteria or virus?
Insulin is a protein secreted in pancreas.

How does the bacteria looks like when you have diabetes?
Ummm...not really sure what you mean. Diabetes is not caused by bacteria so any bacteria would look the same. Diabetes 1 is caused by the body not producing enough insulin and Diabetes 2 is caused by the cells becoming resistant to insulin.

How are bacteria used to treat people with diabetes?
bacteria itself is not the treatment. we use the bacteria to produce insulin, we do so by inserting the gene into their plasmids and trigger them to produce the insulin. the insulin is extracted and used.
Can insulin kill bacteria?
No
Can insulin be made by using transgenic bacteria?
Yes. In fact, currently insulin manufacturers worldwide use transgenic (recombinant) bacteria to produce insulin efficiently.

Ability of bacteria to produce insulin was result of?
Genetic engineering of the bacteria.
What is the prevalence of insulin resistance?
It has been estimated that 30 to 33 million Americans are insulin resistant, and the number appears to be increasing.
Which type of diabetes mellitus is an insulin resistant disorder?
TYPE 1
How many grams of sugar should an insulin resistant person have per meal?
If you are insulin resistant you should not have any added sugar. If you need something sweet use a sugar substitute caller stevia.
