What are the rules for using insulin for a commercial driver under the Florida Department of Transportation rules?
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.
What else can I help you with?
Name of canadian university and department where insulin was discovered?
May be university of Toronto, Phamacology department---please confirm
When was recombinant human insulin first produced?
Recombinant human insulin was first produced in 1978 by scientists at Genentech, a biotechnology company. This breakthrough involved inserting the human insulin gene into bacteria, allowing the bacteria to produce insulin that was identical to that produced by the human pancreas. The first commercial production of recombinant insulin began in 1982, marking a significant advancement in diabetes treatment.
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.
Can someone with diabetes operate a commercial motor vehicle in Texas?
Yes, someone with diabetes can indeed operate a commercial motor vehicle in Texas as long as they are healthy enough. There are other options other than 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
What is lantus insulin?
It is a long acting insulin.
Diabetes is a result of the insufficient production of what?
insulin in the pancreas
What is the chemical formula for insulin?
The chemical formula of insulin is C256H381N65O79S6
What specific hormone corrects a hyperglycemic state?
Insulin
Can NPH and Regular insulin be mixed?
yes...because regular insulin and Isophane Insulin(NPH) is a human-made form of insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced naturally by pancreas
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.
Why use insulin pump?
An insulin pump can be used as an alternative to multiple daily injections of insulin by insulin syringe.This method is known as continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy.
