Newer and Future Insulins
Journal Title: The Indian Practitioner - Year 2016, Vol 68, Issue 11
Abstract
The management of Diabetes was revolutionised by discovery of insulin. However the insulin delivery as well action profile of initial insulins were far from physiological. The initial insulins were replaced by recombinant insulins and later by insulin analogues. Further refinements in insulin therapy are aimed at making these analogues more physiological, minimise risk of hypoglycaemia, making delivery timing more flexible, reduce/avoid need for injections etc. The review summarises the recently available insulin analogues as well as few advances in the pipeline.
