What is the main solution for management of adult-onset diabetes mentioned in the paragraph?

Options

  1. ATaking insulin from other animals
  2. BTaking insulin from human body
  3. CTaking insulin at regular time intervals
  4. DUsing bacteria to produce insulin

Correct answer

C. Taking insulin at regular time intervals

Step-by-step solution

Management of adult-onset diabetes is possible by taking insulin at regular time intervals. What would a diabetic patient do if enough human- insulin was not available? If you discuss this, you would soon realise that one would have to isolate and use insulin from other animals. Would the insulin isolated from other animals be just as effective as that secreted by the human body itself and would it not elicit an immune response in the human body? Now, imagine if bacterium were available that could make human insuli
