Federal Law the Federal Motor Vehicle Safty Regulations (FMVSRs) state that anyone on insulin cannot hold a CDL. In 2003 President Bush signed a bill to make a medical waiver to allow drivers who have shown to be under control to drive. It must be renewed every two years. You must follow the federal law, or the state law, which ever is more strict. Look at the FMVSRs, or contact your state CDL licensing bureau.

How is commercial insulin prepared?
Standard insulin is an extract taken from the pancreases of cattle from slaughterhouses. However not all diabetics respond well to animal insulin. Genetic engineering has provided a way to manufacture actual human insulin for diabetics that can't use animal insulin. The human insulin gene (edited to remove the introns, which bacteria can't process correctly) is inserted into the chromosome of a bacterium and the bacteria are allowed to grow. Once they have a pure culture of the modified bacteria they are grown in large fermentation tanks. The bacteria produce and secrete the human insulin into the liquid in the tank and as this liquid is circulated to replenish the food for the growing bacteria the insulin is extracted. Some additional processing is needed to perform some steps that the bacteria can't do, the end result is true human insulin.
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 someone with diabetes operate a commercial motor vehicle in Texas?

What is the chemical formula for insulin?
The chemical formula of insulin is C256H381N65O79S6
Why is human insulin preferable to animal insulin?
-Human insulin does not cost as much as pig/animal insulin -Human insulin does not result in allergic reactions, such of insulin of an animal.
Is the insulin made by E.coli better or worse than insulin made by human?
The insulin that we engineer bacteria to make (E.colidoes not naturally make insulin) is identical to human insulin.
