Using insulin pens after their expiration date is not recommended, as the effectiveness and safety of the medication can be compromised. While some insulin may still work for a short period after expiration, it is unpredictable and could lead to poor blood sugar control. It's best to consult a healthcare professional for guidance and to use insulin within its labeled timeframe for optimal efficacy.

What science would develop a better insulin-delivery system for diabetics?

Biomedical engineering is the primary field that would develop a better insulin-delivery system for diabetics. This discipline combines principles from engineering, biology, and medicine to create innovative devices, such as insulin pumps and smart insulin pens, that enhance the precision and convenience of insulin administration. Advances in materials science and nanotechnology are also crucial for creating biocompatible and efficient drug delivery systems. Additionally, integrating artificial intelligence can improve glucose monitoring and insulin dosing algorithms for personalized treatment.


Where can you find insulin?

Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells in the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas and released into the blood; therefore insulin is found in the blood.
