(2001) also found that by stopping smoking, the rate of diabetes reduced to that of non-smokers after 5 years in women and 10 years in men. Attempts have been made to understand the biological mechanisms underpinning these fi ndings.
Like human insulin, it is synthetic insulin produced by genetic engineering but, unlike human insulin, it does not exactly replicate the insulin that is produced naturally in the beta cells of the pancreas. It can therefore not be labelled ‘human insulin’ and its correct term is ‘analogue insulin’. There are currently four analogue insulins available and used in practice: lispro (Humalog®), aspart (NovoRapid®) detemir (Levemir®) and glargine (Lantus®). Manufacturing process and the absorption of insulin The way in which insulin acts once it has been administered can be altered to enable it to have a range of variable onset and duration of action times.
Short-acting insulin This is human insulin that needs to be injected 30 minutes before a meal to ensure that it has broken down from hexamers to monomers in time to cover the rise in blood glucose levels that occur during and after food. It has a peak action of 2–6 hours but can last up to 8 hours, giving rise to the possibility of hypoglycaemia. Once administered, the person needs to ensure that they have adequate diet and nutrition to avoid the occurrence of hypoglycaemia. 4. Medium- and long-acting insulin These are taken once or twice a day to meet background/basal insulin requirements.
