Detailed explanation-1: -SMBG or CGM is especially important for insulin-treated patients to monitor for and prevent hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.
Detailed explanation-2: -Recombinant DNA is a technology scientists developed that made it possible to insert a human gene into the genetic material of a common bacterium. This “recombinant” micro-organism could now produce the protein encoded by the human gene. Scientists build the human insulin gene in the laboratory.
Detailed explanation-3: -Insulin is prepared by recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology for medicinal purposes on a large scale.
Detailed explanation-4: -one of the biggest advantages of using genetic modification to produce human hormones such as insulin, is that we don’t have any risk of some sort of rejection or allergic reaction from reintroducing that hormone to the individual who is for instance, insulin deficient in the case of a diabetic.
