The insulin gene will be extracted from cells from an animal such as a pig, and placed into the loop of DNA in a microorganism. When the microorganism reproduces, the DNA gene will reproduce with it, and this is repeated again and again and the micro-organsms will produce insulin. Whe a sufficient amount of microorganisms have been grown, the insulin will be extracted and used in medicine

Are there different types of diabeties?

Yes, there are. Some diabetics are not "insulin dependent", meaning they do not require injections in order to live. These people may have low insulin production or problems with glucose absorption, but they can usually control the disease by eating the right foods, getting adequate exercise, etc -- these people are called "Type II Diabetics". There are also insulin dependent diabetics, or those suffering from Type I diabetes. People with Type I must have insulin shots in order to live.
