Why is pig insulin being used as a substitute of human insulin?

Why is human insulin preferable to animal insulin?
Human insulin is preferable to animal insulin because it is made through genetic engineering, ensuring higher purity and reducing the risk of allergic reactions. Additionally, human insulin closely mimics the natural insulin produced by the human body, which leads to more predictable and consistent results in managing diabetes. Lastly, human insulin is now more widely available and cost-effective compared to animal-derived insulin.

Which hormone is secreted by alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas?
The Alpha cells in the pancreas are found in the islets of Langerhans and they secrete glucagon. Glucagon is a hormone that breaks down glycogen (stored in the liver) into glucose. In a normal functioning person this would occur if the glucose levels fall below a certain point (hypoglycemic). Diabetics can go low because this hormone is not released... along with insulin, which comes from the beta cells. Insulin acts as a "key" and allows sugar to go into the cells throughout the body. When insulin is not produced your sugar levels rise and you become hyperglycemic.
Does insulin raise blood sugar?
No. Insulin helps you REGULATE your blood sugar levels. BUT it depends on how you use it. If you give to little insulin you might go high. Yet if you give to much insulin your blood sugar might go low.
Does insulin go bad?
Hi!! All the insulin vials or cartridges have expiry date printed on them. This date indicates the date before which the unopened vial or cartridge should be used. One the vial or cartridge is opened it should be discarded after one month,even though some insulin remains in it, as the potency of the insulin is lost over a period of time the potency of the insulin is also affected by cold and heat. Hence Insulin should not be frozen or stored in direct sunlight or heated areas. If all the instructions are followed than Insulin does not go bad. Hope i have answered your question...
Where is insulin produced from?
