No.
When genes from humans are inserted into bacteria, the bacteria acts as factories that produce chemicals of importance to humans, such as insulin.
The gene that is used to make human insulin to put into bacterial cell is called plasmid.
DNA
The gene for insulin can be inserted into the bacterial chromosome. The bacteria is then left to multiply normally, which thus produces many copies of the gene and lots of insulin. This is how they produce the insulin used by people who have diabetes.
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
Human plasmids introduced into the bacteria stimulate insulin production. A special enzyme is used to cut out the insulin gene from a human cell. It is attached to a bacterial chromosome which is also split open by an enzyme. The gene is then transferred into a bacterial cell. The gene makes the bacterial cell produce insulin.
Inserting a portion of human DNA into the ring shaped DNA of bacteria
Genetically engineered insulin may have fewer side effects than the insulin previously extracted from the pancreases of other animals. This is because genetic engineering inserts human genes such as the gene for insulin production into the DNA of bacteria. As a result, the bacteria that produces human insulin, when used by diabetics, should produce fewer side effects.
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.

*A+*bacteria
Insulin-producing bacteria were commercialized in 1982.
bacteria reproduce quickly. The more transgenic bacteria there are, the more insulin is produced. (I am taking an online Biology course and this question was asked, and this was the answer the online class gave me)
Yes. In fact, currently insulin manufacturers worldwide use transgenic (recombinant) bacteria to produce insulin efficiently.
The type of DNA technology used to cause bacteria to produce human insulin is recombinant DNA technology. In this process, the gene for human insulin is inserted into the genome of a bacterium, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), using techniques such as restriction enzymes and ligase enzymes. Once the gene is inserted, the bacterium is then able to produce human insulin, which can be purified and used for medical purposes. This technology has revolutionized the production of insulin, making it more accessible and affordable for people with diabetes. Recombinant DNA technology has also been used to produce many other human proteins, such as growth hormone and blood clotting factors, with great success.
the insulin gene was inserted into it. E. coli doesn't naturally produce insulin. It needs to be engineered to do so.
