Low blood sugar!
Creation of protein drugs like genetech's insulin. Producing large amounts of biological enzymes for industrial use.
Diabetes is a non-communicable disease. It is the condition when your pancreas stops producing insulin.
for producing insulin,glucagon and pancreatic juice
Diabetes is caused by lack of insulin due to destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.
Scientists already knew the amino acid code for insulin.

In 1983 scientists worked out a way of producing human insulin on a large scale using genetically modified bacteria. They did this by first working out which human chromosome was responsible for producing insulin. They then isolated that chromosome using a restricting enzyme. They would then remove the plasmid from the bacterium, cut out a small piece of the plasmid using enzymes and then replace the gap made with the human insulin gene. The genetically engineered plasmid is the inserted into a new bacterium and this bacterium is allowed to grow and multiply. Each of the new bacteria would contain the human insulin gene and as the bacteria continued to multiply they would be producing insulin which could then be used to treat diabetes. In this way we could produce large amounts of insulin that was suitable for vegetarian use and causes very few allergic reactions quickly and cost effectively.
The condition is known as Type I insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.
When there is not enough insulin produced or when the doorway no longer recognizes the insulin key, glucose stays in the blood rather entering the cells.
the insulin-filled vesicles fusing with the cell membrane and spilling their contents externally
if your pancreas isn't producing enough insulin you may get diabetes and you will most likely have to take an insulin shot
