Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic engineering has been used to produce a type of insulin, very similar to our own, from yeast and bacteria? like E. coli?. This genetically modified insulin, ‘Humulin’ was licensed for human use in 1982.

Detailed explanation-3: -In 1923, Lilly became the first company to commercialize insulin. Today, we are commemorating the centennial of insulin by recognizing the work of researchers, advocates and people living with diabetes.

Detailed explanation-4: -In 1982 Food and Drug Administration approved Humulin, Eli Lily’s recombinant insulin made from Genentech’s specially modified bacteria. It was the first drug produced through recombinant DNA technology and among the first genetically engineered products to be available to consumers.

Detailed explanation-5: -15 October 1923 – insulin produced on a mass scale Eli Lilly become the first manufacturer to mass produce insulin and in October 1923 they began shipping the first commercial supply of insulin.
